My microwave died last December. I couldn't remember how to live without it! I borrowed one from my son's roommate, and eventually got around to shopping for a new OTR (over the range). But when the Maytag deliverymen/installers brought it several weeks later, they claimed "the holes didn't line up" with my old GE and they weren't authorized to do anything about that, so it couldn't be installed. So I sent it back with them, expecting to get a refund on my next credit card bill. Or the one after that, or the one after that. Instead I got late payment charges.
Taking care of this kept rising on my Things I'm Avoiding Doing list, and today was the day! Enlisting the help of my appliance maven friend, and her former colleague at Home Depot, I got the missing MW tracked down, the paperwork straightened out, and the refund (including late charges) credited. It's supposed to show up on my next charge statement, or the one after that. Meanwhile I bought another GE model, presumably with more compatible holes, and scheduled delivery and installation by an authorized installation crew, for a larger fee. Perhaps this time it will stay crossed off my list. I'll be cookin'! Next project, buying a new dryer that doesn't smell like it's burning or make noises like a saber-tooth cat with indigestion.
