GONNA throw this stove out the WINDOW

If I could pick it up out it would go The stove is somewhat new, whirlpool gas range...my first major appliance purchase on my own since after the divorce. I LOVED it, beautiful~

A 6 weeks ago the oven wouldn't light, so I called whirlpool....UNDER warranty (almost up) they send a local guy to look at it. The past 6 weeks my oven has only worked 2 times! I have had just about every part replaces, ignitor, valve thing.....grounded..blah blah blah, the "oven man" as I call him now has been over AT LEAST 2 times a week for the past 6 weeks. EACH time promising me that he's got it now!! So today he came by fiddled again with it, looked like he got it working and left. This time I think he changed the valve or something. NOT EVEN 5 minutes after he leaves I go and try to start it................................NOPE wont light!! ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I'm tired of this!! I Don't think this guy KNOWS what he is doing!! He's like 90 yrs old, the only other authorized whilrpool repair is over 8 hrs away. BUT I want my oven!! I have to call him AGAIN in the morning to let him know that nope it is not working still.....I just dont know what to do anymore.

Maybe there is a recall on that model

Nope no recall I WISH it was that easy...I have looked at every online forum dealing with gas ranges/ovens since the problem started. It really should work!!....LOL the guy changed just about every part! I never thought I'd say this but I JUST WANT TO COOK!! I want to bake some cookies for the kids or something!!

Cookies.

That's just cruel

So it's the oven that's no lighting right? Because if it's the range itself, you might lose a little hair, but you can get that puppy going in no time...

I will pray for your stove!

Compassionant people everywhere should join forces and force the evil gremlins from your stove. If it comes to it; an exorcism may be in order.

One thing to be thankful for; it's not your car!!

OH GOSH!! That is funny, because my car broke down like a year ago and I just never got it fixed!! I dont have a car... Sorta do, my parents had an extra they never drove so I borrowed it...a year later I still have it.


The oven actually started today! I think I bought a lemon, either that or it is trying to protect the children from my cooking!! Dinner time will come around and it wont light for me...GOod thing I dont like to cook too much!
