Bill had a batch of brownies all mixed up today and the oven wouldn't light! It worked fine, this morning, for the breakfast biscuits. He poked around, in its innards and thinks a thermocouple (
) is broken.
The question now is: do we spend the money to repair a 20-year-old stove or do we buy a new one? Bill is inclined to buy new. I went Websurfing and stoves seem to be pretty high-priced. Some of them were $6,000. For that kind of money, it had better do ALL of the work!
All I want is a standard gas stove, with a self-cleaning oven. Sears has a Frigidaire for $199.99 but it isn't self-cleaning. The most affordable one is $400.00.
I'm off, on Wednesday so we're going to a locally-owned appliance store. They gave us a good deal on our washer and dryer. Maybe we can get a floor model, fairly cheap.
