Electrically related story, got home from work and was sitting in a darkened room cursing the world in general when the overhead bulb flashed on then blew up. Think I'm getting telekinetic in my old age.

Put your hands up and step away from the stove...slowly.

I didn't read all the replies so sorry if someone already said this...

Stoves are usually 220 volts and a lot of people like to wire them on their own breaker. Just like the dryer.

Find your breaker box and check for the breaker labeled stove or any tripped breakers.

You guys wanna be dinks.....but Im thinking Nash Just needed to go downstairs...breath a few times.....and the stove woulda worked fine.

If not. Check the breaker..it will be a set of 2. If it is popped, there is a reason.

As a fellow recovering addict.............

Call someone and put down the screwdriver

You guys are awesome...

I got home tonight and checked out the fuse box... or switch box. I did indeed see two switches that were connected. Tried toggling them... and then the rest of them but that didn't work. I got the back of the stove off (yes, I unplugged it first), looked at it.... and realized that I just couldn't deal with whatever was going on inside of it.

I'm having someone come and fix it instead.

But for all yer help, I am going to bake yas a nice lasagna or a short bread cake or whatever it is people do when their stoves work.

Cheers and thanks!

No really Nash.. you had best check the fluid level. Folks always seem to forget proper maintenance like that. If you have not found it yet remember to ask the repair guy when he comes. I bet he can show you where it is so you can check it in the future. There are some things like that you can do yourself, especially if you know where to look.

Nash · « **Reply #58 on:** March 16, 2005, 08:57:37 PM »

Okay folks, it's back on!

rabbidrabbit... yer post got me to dig around the back for a part number to check out this fluid thing.

AND I FOUND THE FUSE!

It was.... (how to explain?).... Ya know the part that juts up from the main part, that has all the dials and clock on it? Well, I spotted the fuse through a crack in the back of it. You just flip the top open; you don't even need to pull the oven out you can do it from the front! Ya don't need to unscrew anything. (d'oh!)

Bad news is... it looked fine.

I didn't find a part number, but I did see a large warning to not do something that I already did when taking the back off.

Ah well live and learn.

So the only thing I can tell ya at the moment is... the oven is newish, it is made by GE, and it is white.

Any idea where to find the oven's dipstick would be appreciated.

So, it still doesn't cook food huh?

Get a professional, you'll be here for 3 weeks to find nothing while they'll be there for 30 minutes and find the fix.
