Fun with the stove
So I got home last night and my wife is standing there with "that look" on her face. I ask what's up and she said, "Did we renew the warranty on the oven? It won't light."
I said, "No, we decided to let it slide." At that point I'm thinking that it was a dumb move to let it slide, but honestly, the warranty cost was just about the replacement cost and I didn't think it was worth it. Anyway, I decide to "take a look" and confirm that while the burners will light, the oven does not (propane gas setup here). I figured I'd take a look at the manual and the troubleshooting guide to see if that condition is listed. Mrs. Q is telling me, "I already looked there, it didn't help" but I look anyway. Well, apparently there is a separate gas shutoff for the oven and for the range top. It tells me where to find it (take out the bottom drawer and it's behind it) and sure enough, it was half tripped. I flipped it to the off and back on and voila, the stove lit up. I'm guessing that one of the handles from the pots that get stored in that drawer must have pushed it. Crisis averted for now. Especially since there was panic setting in as we're hosting a dinner party tomorrow and also Thanksgiving dinner. Phew. So, if your stove won't light, check the shutoff

We had the same problem for months...my mom got someone in yesterday, no idea what they did but it's fixed. I wonder if it was that simple.

Justin wants a gas stove. You think it's better than electric?

I grew up on electric. When I had the choice when our house was built, we chose gas. I prefer it definitely on the stove top. I'm indifferent on the oven portion. I understand you can get gas range tops with electric ovens but I don't see spending the extra for a hybrid.
I think it's all personal preference.

Phew, glad it seems to be that simple Eddie............now imagine the repairman bill for that job!
 Also, I agree. I prefer gas top/electric oven. At the moment we have a ceramic top range, so it's all electric. While I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it's all sealed and I wipe it off like the counter, I do miss gas burners that you can eyeball for heat adjustments, LOL Electric ovens for me all the way........I love to have that even consistency of electric for baking.

I would give anything to have a gas stove back. I hate electric and that is what I am stuck with now.

I despise electric stoves. Gas is soooooo much better.
