my favourite, and most used, burner on the stove stopped working all of a sudden…

I called Hameed Appliances, was sent a form to complete, and got an appointment the next day…

Ron, who has been here previously, arrived and had a look… to replace the piece with a new element was going to cost $500, so I am waiting to see if they might have access to a used element…

otherwise, I am going to leave it, thinking of my mother-in-law, who used to cook on a little stove that only had two usable burners… she could produce a meal with 3 vegetables, potatoes, and a roast, without any problem, lol…

we will see what I can do;-)…

so, this morning at 8:15, Ron, from Hameed Appliance Repair Inc. arrived…

forty-five minutes, and $250 later, he was gone…

in between, he fixed a foot that had come off the stove and replaced the bake element…

woohoo…

at first I thought he was taking the stove’s blood pressure as he had these nifty little pads that pumped up and raised the side of the stove so he could get in to work on the foot, which fought pretty hard, but he won the battle, lol…

the element was an easy fix as he had one in his vehicle, it took minutes to replace…

we had a lovely conversation about the lifespan of older versus newer appliances and I got a card for someone they recommend for refurbished appliances… hope I don’t need that for a long time;-)…

so I think I will roast something for supper…
