Where abouts do you live? I have a friend that is an appliance salesman for a big appliance store. Big time slalom skier.
), she quickly retreated with "Oh, but yes the cut-out dimensions are all different" --- Yeah, fuck me, that's exactly what I was saying lady. ). Personally, I wouldn't buy a new appliance without an extended warranty --- however, dealing with these companies makes overruling the BLM seem like child's play The first thing the tech asked me when he recently showed up was "Do you have a screwdriver I can borrow" --- Yeah, I knew right then this was going to be a really fun afternoon.
Damn, that sucks. They look so good too. We really liked the gas range.
Thermador is Bosch's higher end line, although some are the same and rebadged. The microwave units are the same Bosch ones, again, rebadged.
I'm not at all happy with our Bosch cooking appliances (Specifically the Micro-waves and Induction Cooktop), but the dishwasher has been bullet proof -- go figure.
However, several of my neighbors who rebuilt after the fire same as us, went with Kitchen Aide and after I noticed repair trucks visiting them, they shared their own similar tales of woe.
So honestly, if I decided to replace my junk tomorrow, I haven't a clue who I'd go with

I hope you have great luck as well, I've been eyeing Kitchenaide, but again, the cut-out problem.
Well to bad they don't adopt a similar chassis !! Yup, the internals are all Chinese
After replacing the board, I checked the old board and sure enough, one burnt resistor and one burnt diode. I'll probably need a microscope to find the part #'s, but if I can I'll just replace those parts and maybe I'll have a working backup.

I really like Pacific Sales, although I liked their previous Rancho Bernardo store ambiance much more. We've done all our purchases through them and gotten great deals. BUT, my beef isn't with Pacific Sales (Think Best Buy), it's with Warrantech they use (Or did a couple of years ago) for the extended warranties. I've lost track of how many weeks I've spent on the phone haggling with those retards. Then this last go around, Warrantech's customer service gal was awesome, but the company they use for Orange and San Diego counties for the repair was really strange. The owner is a hoot to talk too, I haven't a clue how he remains in business. The tech was extremely pleasant, but I had to teach him how to remove and replace the burned up board and display. His first comment after we pulled out the combo oven was --- "Sorry, wrong board" --- I then proceeded to show him the errors of his ways. But in truth, I thought it was kinda fun working with the kid and got his number should I need an extra hand for any side jobs, LOL.
I had one warrantech claim and it went fine. Repaired ice dispenser that didn't dispense. At least it works 50% of the time instead of 0% now
) he was ranting and raving about how "The Russians" have moved in and undercut his pricing, so he's rapidly losing customers like Home Depot to them. Oh Great, it's "The Russians" again, lol
Great to hear --- I was told they're good with LG since they're more officially LG service trained. In my case this nice young man hadn't to date popped the hatch on a Bosch.I had one warrantech claim and it went fine. Repaired ice dispenser that didn't dispense.

If you ask me, they're all junk with built in obsolescence to last five years.Thermador is Bosch's higher end line, although some are the same and rebadged. The microwave units are the same Bosch ones, again, rebadged.

We had KitchenAids years ago, oven had issues with switches, warmer quitting and finally the $700 display panel went out. Dishwasher never had any problems but the fridge's water dispenser's output slowed to a trickle. Had to wrap copper wire on the defroster coil to lead into the drain system to avoid flooding inside the fridge. At our new place I got all Maytag now that are probably not any better. Two years on, they're all trouble free, knock on wood.
No idea who? The warranty was handled in Havasu by City Maytag and their repair dept.....I wasn't even there when they did it.
Oh OK, Havasu, got it. Well for shit sake run out and buy a new appliance for SD home and get the Warrantech extension. We know it will break and when it does you'll get the unique opportunity to chat with Scott. Yes, I'm being serious, the guy owns Service on Site and if he gets a hint you enjoy BSing, you'll be on the phone for an hour. He's a friggin trip and his lead tech I also spoke with works steady as a stand up comic and Scott is his manager.
Thank you,
Thanks!!!
