Last night when I came home from work, my wife was making home made pizza. When she thought it was time to pull the pizza out of the oven, she discovered that the oven was just barely warm. So I told her that she could take the pizza across the road to my brother's house to bake it there. When she got back, we ate the pizza and talked about how to work our schedules to be here for the repair man.(I don't work on appliances still under warrenty). Later in the evening, I started to make me a cup of tea and found that the cook top wasen't working either. Got up this morning and thought that maybe I should check the breaker to make sure that 220 was coming to the stove and not just 110. So I thought I would pull the plug and check it there first. Found the problem right there. Plug was almost out of the recepticle. Pushed it in and everything works. Now for the good part. I told my wife that I fixed the stove and she asked me what was wrong with it. I told her that I had to recalibrate the oven relay to the cook top transfer switch. No big deal, sometimes those things happen. Well she thinks I am the greatest guy in the world. I did secure the plug so it won't come out again. And I will probably tell the wife what I really did to fix it, but right now I have to go to work.
