Do-It-Yourself Story

Had two different repair companies come in to repair my Thermador PRG304US Range. Both explained the the "broken" parts were no longer available making the repair impossible and thus I would have to buy a new range. Ok, but before I shell out $5K to replace the one I had, I needed to answer the questions I had. After twenty minutes of online research and the help of AppliancePros I was able to repair my own range. The techs obviously mis-diagnosed the problem, and not only that the one guy "pretended" that he attempted a repair that he never did. Repair was not overly difficult for someone with a little "handyman" skill and common sense, but was time consuming. Had to remove multiple parts for proper exposure to allow replacement of solenoid. The Venturi Tubes were frozen also adding to the difficulty and time required.
