This was an expensive model, a Spacemaker XL1800, that we considered
salvaging.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I think we'll recycle it -- it's just
not worth the chance.


I would recommend donating the oven to an appliance repair shop. There are a
lot of parts in that oven which are still usable, plus it's one less problem
with throwing away electronics.

I would also advise that you try to get the person or party responsible for the
loss to foot the bill of a new oven. The tech's inexperience is no excuse for
this loss. - Reinhart
