Anybody have experience fixing an oven's switchboard? It's a first for me so I'm trying to make sure we aren't getting ripped off.

ETA - it's a Samsung and it's electric, if that matters

@dramypsyd If a new oven is cheaper, you're probably being played.

@dramypsyd @AndyIncarnate If you have a local place that gets appliances with minor cosmetic damage, you can save a lot - we got our oven for like half price, because the drawer at the bottom where you keep the frying pans had a small dent in it from the box I guess being bumped in transit.

@dramypsyd I suppose I would check the oven I have (I've only just bought a new place) and then compare what I have with what's available for a like-for-like replacement. We don't have a heritage range cooker or anything though. If you've got something like an Aga range, then you'd need to get someone who deals with those, which shouldn't be too specialised I'd guess?

@dramypsyd @AndyIncarnate no, a range is the bit on top you out pans on to cook things. What you’re talking about is an oven, that’s the big box that gets hot.

@dramypsyd @AndyIncarnate I assume you mean a wall oven, or do you mean an entire range (oven + cooktop in one appliance). I bought a wall oven a couple months back and the low end was 1200is around me with no apparent upper limit on what I could spend.

@mhkohne @AndyIncarnate I was trying to find the whole thing (cooktop and oven), and actually Husband pointed out that the $500 option I found is just the range which is why it was so cheap and this is why I need help with these things, I do not know what I am doing

@dramypsyd @AndyIncarnate and in penance for that awful pun, yes, ovens and all other kitchen bits have a wild price range. Unless you’re really into cooking you probably don’t need to spend more than a few hundred.
