The problems with the appliances and other soot related issues has been ongoing for years. I refused to sink my own money into fixing appliances that I don't own and they refused to have the appliances fixed. It's so silly to ahve appliances get ruined instead of having the appliances cleaned for soot, which destroys electronics. The appliances that I kept on using , the fridge and cooking stove got ruined by the soot and were thrown away.
I have been told to just to use the other appliances as well despite needing to be cleaned for soot, but I refuse to deal with the soot related issues further and I will not deal with the hassles of appliances that don't work properly due to soot damages.

They replaced the cooking stove and I replaced the freezer. I opted for a chest freezer instead of buying a new fridge at the time. Replacing the fridge with them turned into such a battle that I walked from it said forgot it, I'd rather have peace and quiet and live without a regular fridge. Which isn't a huge change from having a fridge that half worked.
I wish I could spend the money that I'll be spending replacing house hold appliances on my critters, recreation gear, saving up for a new computer( yeah that got damaged by soot too and the DVD ROM was ruined) or anything else.
I guess on the bright side, I will possibly have better and newer appliances( despite that I will probably buy used appliances) and when I move out, I get to take all of the appliances with me.
