In 2004 we bought all new appliances before we moved into this house (Jan ’05). Those appliances were the dishwasher, microwave, stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer.
We have had the following repaired: dishwasher, refrigerator and now the stove. The upper oven’s upper element has welded itself broken. That means no broiling and no toasting until sometime next week. It’s time to get the cheap toaster oven out of the attic.
REALLY!? That’s 1/2 of all the appliances have crapped out in some way in the last nine years. Even though that’s not 90%, the title of this post is the phrase we use around our house and it’s close enough when every repair starts off at $84 just to have the guy show up to tell us something is broken.
