Overheating oven??

[RICHARD]

I've never pulled the stove out from the place where it's at. Kinda a scary thought. Lord knows what is under it. Ick.

Whatsdamatter, afraid of lost cat toys?

If it lives under a stove, it was food at one time and dead now-or you cat played with it.

Gird you loins and check it out!

My parents had some sort of issue with their oven that sounds similar. I'll point my mom in this direction

Its not specifically good if your gas oven starts beeping like crazy and displaying error messages. But yea, turn off the gas to the stove and call your appliance company to get it looked at, I wouldn't trust it until its fixed.

Yes our oven started beeping an error message a few months ago. If you still have your handbook that came with the oven - it might have the "error codes" listing like mine did. It told me that the temperature sensor needed replacing. I went to several appliance parts places at google and entered the model and make, then ordered the part. It was only about $25 for mine and was easy to fix. There was a plate in the back of the oven to screw off and plug in the sensor. It was a needle looking part - a thermostat essentially. I had to reset the panle where the error code beeps and that was that! The part can likely be ordered from the manufacturere or one of the appliance parts houses - many to choose from. I used one called http://www.repairclinic.com/ fault codes at http://www.repairclinic.com/0078.asp and there are forums there also. Another place I like to look is http://www.doityourself.com/ - you can post your problem there and folks will answer pretty quickly. List the make and model number and someone will try to help.

I called a bunch of repair shops today. I'm amazed at the differences in prices they have for service calls.

Here are some examples:

Shop #1
42.95 for the service call
9.75 for each 1/10 of an hour (that's every 6 minutes)
+ parts

Shop #2
85.00 for the service call
45.00 for each additional 15 minutes
10.05 for a fuel maintenance fee
+parts

Shop 3
85.00 for the visit.
+ parts


I'm going to go with shop #3, plus it's a woman who runs the shop, she was just really up front about everything and said she can't see charging incremental minutes. Thank goodness. So, I'm waiting for a call back, but I think I have to call her back because I'm have phone issues (well, switching to Vonage, and I didn't realize I have a "virtual" number until my old one is ported... gotta love the whole process).

************************
OH... anyone interested in inexpensive VOIP phone service, I got a plan with Vonage for $14.99 a month, $18.-- with taxes and such. It's 500 minutes talk time per month (I'm not chatty on the phone), and goes over your internet connection. I had Verizon Voicewing, another VOIP, but their prices went up, and the quality of the calls are bad. I have a DECT 6 phone, so it's a new one, so there shouldn't be an issue w/ quality on that end. Plus, it's just cheaper service per month.
