My Stove = LEMON????

UGH, yep you may have guessed it. My Thermador gas stove top has 2 burners out.
The 2 that are out are the burners that have a control that cycles the burners on & off and can "coast" and keep food warm w/o the risk of burning.

I. am. not. happy. First the oven back in October, now this.

The service tech will come next Wednesday, which means it will likely be another 7-14 days after that to get the part and schedule an installation.

[:(]

My bad luck with stoves was having the kitchen fan lightly blow a piece of aluminum foil over onto the ceramic cooktop when I wasn't looking. It looked like someone painted it with silver nail polish.
Nothing removes melted aluminum.
New cooktop. $300 without installation. Thanks fan.

Oh no! I remember the weeks and weeks without first your oven and then the entire stove while it was being repaired. That just stinks!
ETA. I bought a used electric stove about 15 years ago hoping it would last me a year. It's old and ugly but will not die! It's going to be embarrassing when we sell the house to say 'appliances included' when all but my fridge are ancient and ugly but no way I'm taking them with me!

Yikes. If it still worked I'd leave it as is and call it an Art Deco cooktop.

It was such a thin glaze of metal that the element would have just melted it again and got on the cookware.

Appliance problems are such a PITA! Cars too but when I am inconvenienced in the kitchen while I am trying to do my job

I swear, nothing lasts. My neighbor still has her 1951 stove. It never needs repairs. I doubt it could be, but still.

A razor blade and a little patience works. Also, nail polish remover. Yes, I had that happen. Fixed in about 3 hours of my work.
