Stove died [View all]

can't believe it. It keeps trying to go into "clean" mode, and then it turns itself off and gives an error message. We've tried resetting it by pressing the buttons suggested in the manual (that didn't work) and also by unplugging it (and that didn't work).

And what ever is wrong with it is affecting the stove top as well.

I managed to get dinner on the table last night, but there's only so much you can do with a microwave and a small toaster oven.

Worst possible month for this to happen. ALL of the yearly bills come in at this time... the vehicle excise taxes, the dog licenses... and let's not forget now is when the heating bills get insane.

Been looking on Craigslist for a used one, but I still don't know how we'd pay for it.
