Comments (15)First - Thank you EVERYONE! Laat2, Marie_cate is correct - I was looking for advice, and I've been following this gardenweb forum for weeks....This is the forum I knew owners, dealers and repair folks spoke up on and could provide me some sage advice. I got on the phone this AM to Wolf and here's what I found out: 1. Amcook was right on the mark! I called the 800 number on their website, and the call was quickly picked up. I related my horror story from last night. I was told their stoves are now made by the Wolf Residential division, and all pre-2000 stoves were made by another division (my guess the commercial side of the house). The Residential division does not provide parts or support to the pre-2000 stoves. BUT, the individual provided me the phone number to the other division (YIPPEE!) 2. The other division is a company(?) called ADCO. Waited a long time on the phone for someone to pick up - but it was worth it. Related my tale of woe again, and the person was a little shocked. Bottomline, Wolf can still provide parts and support for the older stoves. I didn't have the module or model numbers, but from my description of the stove he searched his computer and said the part (retail) would be $172.40 + shipping. He explained sometimes the repair company will jack the price of the parts to make them look like heros and Wolf look like the bad guy (sure sounds like my story). He then asked where I lived - searched his database for folks that had supply agreements with them and gave me the names of other repair companies to call. I called one of the companies he recommended, and they are now scheduled to come out Fri. - I've got my fingers crossed! The other BIG surprise is the 'new' repair company's intial service call is half the price of the one that was here and gave me all the doom and gloom. 3. Wolf responded to my email this afternoon. I hate to make this another really long post, but for those interested here is their response (I'm omitting the sales pitch for the 'dream kitchen', and site rules may delete the company name and phone number): I am so sorry for the confusion, but we would be happy to clarify this for you! Sub-Zero purchased Wolf Range in 1997, and Wolf Appliance, Inc. was formed. For the Wolf Range products that were manufactured prior to 1997, there is a coordinating agency responsible for residential service and parts requests. You can reach ADCO at (877)388-5226 for service and parts requests. We do not have access to the specifications or parts for these ranges, or we would be happy to get this taken care of for you. We would recommend contacting ADCO to resolve this. We do offer parts and support for all models after 1997, and are known for our excellent Customer Service. What have I learned so far? Folks that run ads in the phone book saying they are certified Wolf repair companies - may not be. Folks that are looking for repairs on older stoves should call the 'old' division and get the name of the repair companies they regularly supply parts for in their area. Also, post a question on this thread and get some sage advice from the experts. I'll post again on whether my problem gets resolved or if my Baby gets a RIP (sniff). But before I give her last-rites I'll tear her apart, get the part numbers and do a little DIY (smile). Like I said before she's built like a Lincoln log and can be pull apart easily. So THANK YOU everyone who responded, and thank you Wolf for continuing to give me that 'warm fuzzy' that I'm not forgotten and abandoned....See MorePurses in Shopping Carts
Comments (35)Carla just because there are high tech means available for identity theft doesn't mean low tech ways aren't being used. Most identity theft still takes place through people's carelessness with their atm cards, social security numbers, receipts,bank statements and what they toss in the trash. A purse is simply the easiest one step way for a thief to get the info and multiple pieces of paperwork to make the job easier. Even if they intend to use the computer to do their misdeeds the paperwork makes it so much easier and less risky. Online bill paying is more secure than paying by check. Why? Because most identity theft is lo-tech. The media just likes the high tech story better so that's what people hear about. Sure there are phishing scams and whatever. Those are real threats but a well informed computer user has ways to protect themselves. It's where low-tech crime comes in that people get stupid. They walk around with a false sense of security. Just as in a "bad" area people will become more careful while feeling "safe" in the "better" area. Crooks know this so they come into the "good" ares to commit their crimes. While Mr. Press is reporting the gang bangers shooting each other in their neighborhoods the rest of the crew is off robbing Mr./Mrs. High End in their favorite bistro. Also if they get caught snatching a purse they do less time than for if caught internet crime. There are identity theft rings that use kids to snatch the purses and pick the pockets. Just like they use kids to run street drugs. Less risk doing big time. My DS is a high tech internet security expert. I've posted warnings he's sent me and those got pooh-poohed by some also. Either you are going to be street-wise on and off the 'puter or you're not. If you're not then one day you may become a victim of crime. Maybe not if you're lucky but you sure increase your chances. So it's kind of silly to justify lax security measures (ie leaving your purse where others can get it) when it's something so easily preventable....See MoreLOL @ this e-mail I got
Comments (8)LMBO Too Funny. I just got this from my wife this morning. Subject: Living Will Caution While I was watching the NFL games last weekend, my wife and I got into a conversation about life and death, and the need for living wills. During the course of the conversation I told her that I never wanted to exist in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and taking fluids from a bottle. She got up,unplugged the TV and threw out all my beer. Sometimes it's tough being married to a smartas$$. Ron...See MoreFunkyart
