An Expensive Education

As part of the moving process, I called in a GE repairman to look at our gas stove. The front right burner would no longer light on it's own. It made the clicking sound. I could light it myself, so the gas was flowing, but it just wouldn't light normally. So, after not finding any anwers on the GE website in the "fix it yourself" section of the website, I called in an expert. In my defense, I'm nervous about messing around with anything that uses natural gas. He flipped up the stove top. He pulled the whole burner assembly out. I had no idea that it would come out so easily. He cleaned out a small whole with a special tool. By special, here, I mean something that looked like a small wire. Like a paperclip. He cleaned out some holes with the tool and the burner works flawlessly now. He said it was a "customer education visit" and charged me $89.95. I thanked him and he went on his way.
