Apparently the fuse blew on our oven last week on the old Kenmore. Thank goodness the range can operate separately. I found a DIY repair video, and 23 is confident he can replace the fuse, once his new multimeter arrives. Except... 1) we cannot locate the oven model number, and 2) since Sears is defunct, getting a replacement fuse might not be easily possible. Might end up buying a new appliance. We'll see, huh?
How weird is this: for whatever reason(s), the oven is working again of its own accord. 23 was about to order a replacement thermal fuse when 15 announced that the range's digital clock is functioning again. We've been carefully testing the oven with short baking tasks and, well... Yay! Best guess is that a mouse got zapped and temporarily shorted out the oven. If that was the issue, the mouse's end was swifter and less painful than if Diego had gotten to it first.
