Thanks for the reminder, Mons -- that had slipped my mind!

Lame!

I think he was saying the oven is lame if you have to go through all of that just to get to the panels.

glatt · 02-03-2009, 03:24 PM

I was actually pretty impressed at how hard it was to service my oven. To take the side panels off you have to remove like 4 things on each side. But to remove each of those 4 things, you have to remove another 4 things. Each component I looked at was set up in a similar way. It's like an Escher staircase. But a complicated one.

Anyway, I decided the squeaky springs pulling up the door are funny and not super annoying.

I think HungLikeJesus was making a joke.

But there is insulation on both sides. And it is a bitch to get to it. I'll never forget my battle w/it. Horrific. Like I said, I just bought a new one. This one has no openings anywhere anything can go thru. The folks at the appliance store thought I was nutso. I was looking at the back and bottom of the range more than I cared about the range itsself.
And this one is a smooth top, too. Which I recommend. Nothing can get inside from the top either.

not really an option for me, so I hope whatever is making the smell will burn off.

Cloud · 02-15-2009, 03:14 PM

want you guys to know I got a fire extinguisher and am now cleaning my oven. It stopped smoking after about 1/2 hour.

hope it takes care of the problem--we'll see

classicman · 02-15-2009, 03:26 PM

excellent! that should be a good start. Does it still smell at all?

capnhowdy · 02-15-2009, 03:32 PM

Can we trade our ball gags for nose clips?

Good luck.

Cloud · 02-15-2009, 03:43 PM

it still smells, but it doesn't seem as bad. We'll see what happens after I'm done.

um . . . ball gags?

capnhowdy · 02-15-2009, 03:49 PM

cellar history.

old tag line: "That's it! Ball gags for everyone!"

Anyone else remember it?

Shawnee123 · 02-15-2009, 04:12 PM

I don't. But I wondered why we had to choose between the two; can't we keep the ball gags and ADD nose plugs? Oh, yeah...I guess breathing is a factor.

It wasn't a tagline, it was the user title of Troubleshooter.

No, I have no fucking idea why I remember that. This is why there's no space in my head for anything useful.
