    Oven stops working.

    Call OvenCo: Sorry, out of warranty. New oven, only $1400! $200 installation!

    No, OvenCo. Nothing is visibly wrong with it. We fix it.

    OvenCo: New oven computer bits! $450 plus $200 installation!

    No, OvenCo. Nothing is visibly wrong. Continuity check says, blown thermal fuse.

    OvenCo: New fuse! $44 plus shipping. $100 installation!

    Do I get a warranty back?

    OvenCo: Oh no. Definitely not.

    Hang up on OvenCo, pull fuse, open DigiKey.

    New fuse is $3.

    For 5 of them.
