That pretty much describes the way Ford, GM & Chrysler has
built cars for years.

Went with a new GE

Ended up getting a new GE. Not even sure repair ever had a chance even though I knew it could be fixed but I figured the amount difference between repair and new was not more than the goodwill I would have for getting the new oven. Got a great deal and in the end I love to cook as well and didn't really like the stove either. My kitchen was redone by the previous homeowners and they got a new built in micro, trash compactor and dishwasher but left the old stove. I fondly call him Handy Andy as most things he fixed good from afar but far from good. I could write pages on some of the things I found while working around here. Anyways it look and performs great and my wife is very happy.
