The Ovens are going Back

After a very irritating visit by a stressed out (and way late) repairman, it has been determined that the ovens must go back. First he questioned whether they had been installed correctly, ie, was I sure that a live wire hadn't been put together with the ground. Hmm let's see, it turns on, but one digital control doesn't work, so yes I think it is not short circuiting...

Then he questioned whether it really was a Whirlpool oven because he didn't recognise the doors, which are uniquely designed for Ikea. I had to show him the install guide. Then he fiddled around and showed that he could heat both ovens up as long as he set the left oven to be identical to an already set right oven and then said, "Well really all you have is a blank space where you should have a number or letter." Hmmmm, yes and it is a brand new $1500 set of ovens (no we didn't pay that much, but that is the going retail price).

Then he said he couldn't really check anything without someone else to help him take the ovens out the of cabinet. So I pointed out that Jon would have been here if he hadn't been 4 hours late for his arranged, 4 hour long, arrival window.

Final conclusion, we would have to wait 7-10 days until he could get back out with someone else to fix it. So we are not having him fix it, we will get Ikea to replace it with another one.

In the meantime no pictures, because nothing has changed on the outside. I am just putting things away so working hard every day, but nothing to see really. The rest of the flooring should arrive on Weds. We should be mostly unpacked back into the kitchen by Monday, so we really are looking at the end soon. And I must say that I love my cooktop and having a working sink and dishwasher is a very very nice state of being.
