The top burner in the old oven caught on fire a couple of years ago when I tried to used the self-cleaning feature and cook on the stove top (all at the same time). I’ve been cooking and baking with it in that condition for quite some time now.

The old microwave also caught on fire (by no fault of my own). The dishwasher no longer dries so I have been manually drying the dishes. Since I rinse the dishes thoroughly before loading them, it seemed almost pointless to use the dishwasher at all.

Admittedly I wasn’t experiencing any problems with the refrigerator but who wants a 10 year old white refrigerator when all of the other appliances are shiny stainless steel and new!
