Anybody have a recommendation for an appliance repair guy in the Jackson area? My ventahood/microwave/convection oven went tits up today. I like the unit, so I'd rather have somebody look at it than to just replace it.

Agree. Chris is good to go and does good work. I think he stays real busy, though. The last couple of times I tried to get a hold of him I was unsuccessful. I ended up spending about 10 hours on google and youtube to save a few bucks on each of my last 3 DIY appliance repairs...time I'll never get back and knowledge I'll probably never get to utilize again.

I feel you pain JT, been there done that! Although Appliance Zone has a forum that is pretty helpful if you wanted to try and fix it yourself.

Over the last couple of years I've concluded that all appliances available for purchase today are complete s***...period. US economics have forever dictated that appliances are durable goods, but in the Taylor household we've reclassified them as nondurable consumer goods. From now on the plan is to purchase the cheapest most aesthetically pleasing (i.e. I decide on cheap and Ginny picks which one she's happy to look at) appliances, run them until they break, and then simply replace them. I'm not wasting any more time or money on appliance repair.

Sorry to derail this thread...call one of the two guys mentioned. I'm sure they can hook you up.

I am with you on that. Built house in 07 all new appliances have replaced washer,dryer,(they were front load pos that started stankin') dryer still worked but could not have a non matching pair RIGHT! refrigerator died on year 3. Previous built house had brand new top of the line Kenmore washer & dryer, dryer worked 3 months out of the eight we lived there. Bought extended free replacement warranty on those. That's a scam. They will not replace unless they have more than two work tickets in a month. Sooo how they get around that is keep replacing parts and never close the first ticket out. I went as far up as I could and the for a couple of days worth of phone calls the boss over sears warranty and service told me "Mr. Ferguson we will never close that first ticket out". Asked to speak to his boss he said he was it. Like JT said buy the cheap stuff and be prepared to replace every couple of years.

This is a $1500 advantium oven that came with the house.. If i can spend $150 to extend the life of it, i'll do it.

It was a blown internal fuse by the way.

I don't disagree with the approach. We bought expensive s*** when we built too, so, I'm committed to this same approach too until they go tits up. My point is that, when they do, they're getting replaced with 'nondurable' models so I can try to put an end to this madness.

I'd have never bought it if I was doing the buying. But, since I have it... :meh:
