3 wks ago, Darrell goes in to use the oven, it does not heat up, the bottom burner. so, he turns it off and back on, and still nothing. so then, he tries the broiler, nothing. We try flipping the breaker and everything else we could think of. Still no luck. Our stove is 4 yrs old. It came with a yr warranty but we luckily bought an extended warranty for 4 more yrs. So, we had almost a yr left on the warranty. Darrell calls Lowes and they tell us a repairman will be out 3 days later, they would call first. nobody called or came. We've just worked around the oven, toasting bread in a skillet and etc. Finally this evening, almost 6 pm the repairman calls and is on his way. He checked it and it is the push button timer panel. But thankfully it is covered and no service charge.

Just Curious Lucy...What is the Brand of your stove?? I tell ya the stuff they have out now adays just don't last like it used to, what happened to the days when you got your grandma's refrigerator that she had for 50 years and it still works like a charm? So they Finally came out and it is fixed huh? Thats good! hopefully it will last 4ever now ... ain't dat da truth... there seems to be a common link here...Sadly, it's with one of the few stores that carry a broad range of "stuff" we can use..(not many here pholks) and That's LOWES...Laura is a card holder there... 1. Laura bought me a NEW WEEDEATER @ Lowes.. Toro..brought it home..NEVER started...right outa da box..RETURNED.. No Exchange..2.The afore Mentioned Stove...  3. New High dollar Mower...fresh outa da box (and a UNDAMAGED BOX) Mount for handle...BENT clear over making handle installation IMPOSSIBLE... EXCHANGED...for one that CAME FROM THE FACTORY...but one of the GOOD ones.. 4. Cuisinart Coffee maker...umm..CAUGHT FIRE!!! exchanged (I think Laura may have done a lil THREATENING this time)  (could explain a photo of her mounted at checkouts)  I queried this assistant mangler (manager) at Lowes... I accused them of using the same practices that Walmart uses when purchasing (could explain a photo of Me..added to hers mounted at checkouts)  Walmart: Mr. supplier..I need 2000 stoves...and I'll pay Only$$$ for each. Supplier: (Thinking to self) I want this sale...however, I don't like their price So, I'll sell Walmart 1500 EXCELLENT stoves at their offered price...and 500 with a few "Minor Flaws" to round out the order... Thus the NO HAGGLE..return policy @ Walmart...they KNOW a certain percentage of merchandise is crap..it's up to you to settle for crap///or return crap... (I worked for walmart and know this)and Although the mangler...said they DID NOT do this...the more I talk to people, the more I read here and other places...it is my belief that they too set their price that they pay to the manufacturer as well |

Bought a Troy-Bilt snow thrower a few years back from Lowes. Had problems with it every year (except the first). Finally just sold it to a guy who repaired them for what I could get out of it (last year) - then took some money and bought me a GOOD, sturdy, snow shovel. Nuff said. 2 days later, it snowed up to the back bumper of our van.  As I shoveled, I just kept telling myself, "You're too soft, Mike. Charles Ingalls could do this all day long." So I kept going. I was beat at the end!  |

So we gave it to a friend , she was soooooo happy she could put it in her garage!! Because it was not self defrosting !! She kept saying it isn't self defrosting right??? We have the prob , that if it gets too cold out the freezer will self defrost and heat up .... So she was pleasantly so happy!! Now I wish we would of kept it lol .. ohhhhh well!! |

My stove went on the fritz this week...tried everything as well....went and bought a new one, (they do not even come with the electric plug in wire ......saved the one off the old stove ( and hooked it up....it would not work either...finally figured out one side of the breaker had gone bad...new breaker put in, new stove works, but I probably trashed a good stove for not throroughly checking out every thing myself....
