No Christmas Dinner thanks to Maytag

Well, it is Christmas Eve and our 6 month old Maytag Induction Stove has broken down... again... not sure how we are going to cook the Family Dinner for all the relatives coming over tonight. We bought the stove in the summer and within a few weeks it broke down, the circuit board for the stove top failed (took three weeks to get it fixed) and now it happens again after only a few weeks since the last repair. The same problem has happened again, while we were roasting vegetables at 400 the cooktop "locked-up" and the alarm went-off. Seems to be a design flaw that this problem keeps re-occurring. Called Maytag, again, they will be sending out a repair person but it will be a week before the person even gets here and then who knows how long before the repair parts arrive and we have a functioning stove. So far this nice "looking" stove is looking more like a lemon. I cannot see any reason for a stove to break-down roasting at 400 for only 15 minutes. Maytag denies that there is any design flaw but this problem has happened twice in the first 6 months of use so I cant say I have much faith in this product. I will update this review once the wait for repairs is over but for now the holidays here are going to be tricky without a reliable stove in the kitchen :(
