4-pack of ceramic fuses: $2.99
New inline fuse holder: $2.99
Being able to diagnose and fix your not-working electric range: PRICELESS

Yeah I do but it's not quite the same. She heard the cussing, saw me cut my finger trying to remove the shrink tubing from the original fuse, and knows I had to make two trips to the hardware store. So, she just laughed when I claimed victory.

Even I can change change a fuse plug, although normally I'd get a chap in. In response, "HA-HA"! And the horse you rode in on.

The hard part wasn't changing the fuse, it was reading the wiring diagram to find the fuse inline to all three elements and taking the oven apart to find that fuse in the mess of wires.

Okay, you're half done.
Why did the fuse blow?
Fuses are protective elements; they don't wear out. They fail because of overcurrents in the circuits they protect when a dangerously high current flows due to a fault. Where's the fault?

This one is a thermal fuse. They fail due to too much ambient heat. They are designed to prevent the oven from getting too hot. Apparently, the fuses that are originally wired into the stove routinely fail the first time you put the oven on self-clean because the self-clean mode produces too much heat for the fuse. The oven wasn't on self-clean, but I found out they also fail after a few years of service, especially in poorly ventilated areas. This is a free-standing range and I had it pushed all the way up against the wall instead of out a little bit. I think that's why it failed. It failed in the middle of cooking something at 500 degrees. I think the ambient temp between the oven and the wall got a little too high and burned the fuse.

Sounds like a reasonable diagnosis. Most appliances have a minimum space requirement from a wall; if you can find the manual that might be a good thing to check. Good work!

Reminds me of a joke I heard recently.
Q: Do you know how many programmers it takes to change a light bulb?
A: Only one but three trips to the hardware store.

 I would have said 3. One to hold the bulb and two to turn the ladder.
In all fairness though the second trip was to get a new multimeter. I've needed one before but made do with without it. This time I decided to get one so I could test my soldering job before hooking up the juice.

You know its funny because whenever I do a plumbing project it's at least three trips. I can almost count on it and I don't care how many spare parts you have you never have the right one.

Well, I've just been playing around with a DSL from Microsoft called Axum[^] (just blogged[^] about it if anybody is interested), and I have to say that it's pretty impressive. Axum is designed to offer parallelisation as a first class feature of a language.
What's interesting, to me, is that MS has a real problem letting people know about projects like this. They certainly need to get more info out to the general developer community about what they are looking at, and what could make it into general release tools.
