I think you're right ATP, I'm implicating the limes in the olive failure. They really are not as interchangable as people would think they are.

Well, no oven for me yet. Sears came out and wanted $350+ to fix it, I can buy a new one for not too much more. The worst part is that I had to pay $130 for them NOT to fix it! Yes, I knew that up front and I realize that you need to pay for them to drive and and check it but $130 seems a bit much. Worst part is he could have done it over the phone;
Me: The oven was on when it went POP! and read "F1"
Repairman: Did you unplug it, wait a few minutes and try again?
Me: Yes
Repairman: OK, the control board is out
He never looked at or touched the oven.

To add insult to injury, while they were going to be out to check the oven, I thought I'd save a service visit call and have them fix my fridge door at the same time. They sent a seperate technician for that, he put a $3 plastic shim on the bottom hinge and charged me $155!

Needless to say I won't call Sears repair anymore, we now have a Lowe's so I doubt that I'll buy any more Kenmore appliances. :x
