Appliances - one year warranty

[Erin]

Just wanted to let you know of our recent experience with a new Kitchenaid range: it is 6 months old and when we did a Self Clean this weekend it completely stopped working. The stove top is fine but the oven is still locked and will not work. It is probably the thermal fuse but we are waiting for a technician. Anyway, I wanted to suggest to anyone with new appliances that they try all the rarely used features in advance of the warranty expiring. I sure wouldn't want to have had to pay for this ridiculous design flaw.
Cheers!

Thanks for the information. I wouldn't trust the new technology in nowdays. I had bad experience for my plasma TV that we purchased 4 years ago. It was 42 inch, and paid for $2300 include tax. After 3 and half year of usage, the TV was died. The manufacture told us it was discontinued model and no parts available to repair. I have to through this TV away. Because of this unpleasent experience, for all of my appliances we purchased 5 years of warranty. It is very costly, but at least we will have a more peaceful mind to use them.
