546 Days



Five hundred and forty six days is precisely how long it takes to fix a Thermador gas cook-top. In November 2006 shortly before Thanksgiving one of the burners on my gas cook top quit functioning, and since that time I have been struggling to get it repaired. The story is way too long and complicated to bore you with the details, let’s just say the emotions involved included, frustration, anger, joy, apathy, and determination. Based upon this experience I have some words of wisdom to pass along:

Do not under any circumstances buy or build a house with the top of the line, state of the art anything. It quickly becomes obsolete, and no one will repair it, or if they do, you will have to put up your first born as collateral. BUY Kenmore. Everyone will service a Kenmore. Only two people in Utah will service a Thermador gas cook-top, and I might add, one says he will service it, but never follows through, and the second one will eventually service it, but you will age a year or two and frown lines will appear.
