Comments (46)All of your comments are very comforting and I feel pretty confident that the parts are available now that I've looked at the Web. I challenged this man who told me he couldn't find parts and I sent him the website link and he came back with a $299 price parts and labor price. This was all done by text and I have yet to call him back. But the real question is if I get a parts quote of $300 that's half the price of the new range, is that the way to go? I read somewhere that no one should pay to keep an old unit if it costs half as much as a new range. Does that apply in my case? The way I see this now is I can pay half as much as a new one and maybe get a unit that will last me maybe 5 to 10 more years?...And if I chuck the old 1 and take the new 1, I may get if I'm lucky 10 years on the new 1 without trouble. So does it look like it's almost a push? It's really about equal cost? Almost making the decision to just buy the new one just as good a decision except for the excellent points HU made about the cheapness of the newer tech. My fear of the sensi temp coils was lessened when I read on a site that I could use my my enamel covered iron Martha Stewart pot's with no problem... But maybe that too was not trustworthy. I am so much on the fence about this that my biggest gut hunch now is to do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just go limping along with my stove taking a long time to heat my kettle of water, and when I start boiling on the low to simmer setting, just take my pot off the griddle to cool...and call it good...See MoreShould I keep or ditch my 28 year old Hotpoint stove?
