We bought this higher end DCS around 1999 (gas, 6 burners, griddle, full oven w/conv and one small oven) and now the thing is just falling apart. Burner igniters failing, convection button broke, have to replace the oven igniters every two years.. finally learned how to do it myself! I had to replace the hinges on the door too after one just broke horribly.
Is this typical for a $3,000 12 year old stove or is DCS just that bad?
I let myself be talked out of a Garland and was disappointed from the start when I returned from an overseas trip to discover my new stove installed with a griddle, rather than the grill that I ordered. They sent me a huge wok to make up for it.
