Old and not tech savvy.

My gas oven has been down for about two years. Was thinking about replacing it, but had a tech come over to see what it would cost.
$157. To tell me to unplug it and plug it back in. Works now.

I started waiting a few minutes to open the lid when it had finished washing and that worked… for awhile. When that stopped working I unplugged it overnight and it’s been good to go ever since. Sometimes those circuit boards need a hard reset.

remote stops working, wife gets upset. Turn the set off at the 6 way,,, count to ten, turn 6 way back on. Voila fixed til next time

We used to unplug it at the wall outlet but found it much easier to install a surge protector 6 way with an on/off switch
