Okay, not really, I am just feeling like that and I liked the sound of that title. My oven decided to die on me last week. I was preheating it for dinner and realized it never got off of preheat. The broiler works fine but it will not heat when I turn it on to bake. I am trying to play Mrs. Fixit so I ordered a new bake/broiler ingiter and will do my best to install it once it arrives. I love to bake so I cannot do without it for too long. Fortunately this week is Passover and my DH is Jewish so he and the kids are observing - thus I wouldn't really have been doing any baking anyway. I had the same thing happen previously and spent about $150.00 to have someone come out, look at my oven and spend about 5 minutes putting in the new part. I told him that for what they were charging, he should have at least made it LOOK difficult. The new part I was able to find on sale for just under $54.00 including shipping so cross your fingers for Mrs. Fixit. Anyone out there with any experience in this area with any good tips, feel free to pass them on.
The second evil appliance is my refrigerator. It seems to pick random times to decide to get warmer than normal. The top freezer is working fine. I am going to try to pull it out today and clean the coils really well. It has served me well for 18+ years so I can't really call it evil, it is just bad timing. I really don't want to have to spend the money right now to replace it. A month or so to save up the cost for the new one is just what I need so here's to the refrig. cooperating for another month. Oh and also to all the other appliances remaining cooperative and fully functional. Guess that means I need to add changing the furnace filter to my list of things to do tonight! I usually do that on the first of the month and haven't done it yet this month.
