I have a Frigidaire Electric Range.  Bought it in July 2000.  So it is coming up on 19 years old.  To the best of my knowledge I've had it repaired twice - first time it was under warranty. That time they repaired the circuit board. It was also repaired Dec 2002, and I believe that was the second time.

Recently, the oven is shutting off prematurely. Last weekend, I made a meatloaf and put it in the oven.  The oven shut off before it was done baking. I restarted it. Shut off again. Restarted it a third time.

My question is..... 19 year old range.... would you call a repair person?  or just buy a new range?  How long can a person expect a range to last these days?   If I call a repair person, am I going to end up buying a new one anyway because parts are no longer available?

What would you do? Call a repair person, or just plan to replace it?
