Do-It-Yourself Story

I replace all four top electric burners and the oven coil plus the drip trays and wire harnesses and clips. They sent the right GE parts the first time and the repair video helped even though this is a no brainer repair. It all cost about $200. A new over would have cost about $550. The only upgrade would have been a convection oven. It was a close call but I am a hard head and think of durable goods as really durable. The entire repair took about 2 hours tops. The killer was cleaning it. The thing was despicable, it hadn't been cleaned in 10-15 years. Two cans of easy off and steel wool plus a full 4 hours work. It surprised me how durable the white porcelain was, it came out looking like new. I could have bought a new one, but somehow I feel like I beat the system
