Remember that post about the unexpected bills. Well, we are having one of those take place. In the last month our stove has started coming up with an error message. When we looked it up on the internet it meant that the control panel was going. This error message isn't that bad except that it makes the stove beep and that you can't turn on the oven when the error message is up. OK, so maybe it is bad...
According to the internet a replacement control panel would cost about $150. When we took off the back of the stove to check things out, we discovered we would also need to hire a repair person to replace the control panel. Considering the fact that our stove is six years old and appliances are expected to have a 7 – 10 year life these days, we decided to replace our stove.
So, two weeks ago we went looking at new stoves. We found one we like in town at a price that was decent but decided not to buy it yet and see how often the error message was actually going to happen.
Well, last week we decided the stove was not going to get better on its own so we went back to that store to buy the stove, they were having an even better sale and when it actually came down to ordering the one we wanted we saved about $90 off the original sale price. Happy for us.
So, our new stove is on order and yesterday I made gingersnaps in the toaster oven...
