To many threads are getting kinda specific in this section so trying to title this broadly so it can be an ongoing thing. (Saw the brands thread though didn't quite answer my questions.)

SO newest item to shit the bed right after house purchase is my gas range. Whirlpool Gold something or other (@ work and forget now) Had been giving errors that google showed as like timer problems. Well after 2 months finally went to bake and discovered no response from Temp up/down buttons and even if we tried to bake @ 350 like the default, it gives another error. Original home owner stated they had replaced the board 5 years ago by a tech. Guessing this may be original stove from home built 9? years ago.


Not something I'm ok DIY, but any idea what kind of cost for a computer board/control board and someone to replace it? I was kinda thinking if that runs me $350, buying a 600 or even nicer 1000 gas range might be worth it. Quick perusal of lowes shows some interesting 5 burner models with built in middle griddle plates and rapid boil mega burners seem neato.

I'm already on board with the other thread above in generally being anti american appliances these days. (Whirlpool kenmore etc. Slightly more positive on GE, but generally wanting to go Samsung/LG by default.)
