Query (oven)
Oct. 20th, 2005 08:30 amThe worst part about the beginning of Sukkot was discovering that the oven doesn't work (it did Monday; it doesn't now). Just the oven; the broiler and the burners are fine. Of course, I've got another two large meals to cook, and an oven is slightly necessary. It sounds like the problem is likely the oven ignitor.
The question(s): given that the gas range is GE, should I schedule a service call from them, or find some place smaller/local (any suggestions?)? Does anyone know if I'm likely to be able to get a service call today/early tomorrow?
The GE website lets me schedule a service call, and describes the costs as
Which doesn't give me an hourly rate for labor, so it sounds odd. (Plus, I keep seeing the $00.00 as $100.00, 'cause why have it there otherwise?)
ETA, noon The GE web site's nearest appointment is next Wednesday, so I just called Cambridge Appliance Repair, who has time this afternoon. I'll have to leave work early, but with luck, it should be fixed in time for me to cook for Shabbat!
