Oven was pre-heating when a flash and a small sound was noticed. So much for the planned cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Stove part still working. Did some investigating and determined the electronic control board for the oven had a portion of the circuit burned out and let the smoke out, under the relay area. A high current location, but why now vs being several years old? In good LBYM fashion found a rebuilt board on ebay for $79 vs $190 range for a new board. Rebuilt board has 6 mo warranty and claims to be fully tested, so hopefully it is good for longer than warranty. Looks like no baking for next week approximately until the new board gets here.
Figures something would go wrong, as I just bought DW a new vehicle yesterday. A 2016 Ford Explorer, between the Ford extra cash incentives and hitting the dealer hard on last day of the month and quarter. Bought the vehicle for my net cost about $4700 under dealer invoice (incl $3000 of Ford extra cash incentive), which of course is not really the dealer's true cost, or $6000 under MSRP. I would have taken used, but I got this for near what a used one with 30K miles would be selling for. Since it is a long term purchase, not worried about being a 2016 vs 2017. Have had my current 1997 Expedition for 18 years now, trying to figure out if give the Expedition to a younger relative or just sell it. Nothing wrong with it, just 20 years old and 185K miles, so in spite of real good condition and my regular PM, it is not worth much. DW will get the new Explorer, and I will start driving her previous 2008 Ford Edge I guess. The Explorer is the first new car I have bought in about 30 years.
