Ever seen this British TV comedy? Where the occupants of a tall high rise office building are at the mercy of 3 losers who work for IT out of the basement?

They answer the phone with “IT, have you tried the turning the power off and on?”

That’s exactly what happened with us. A little more complicated, because we’re in France, but essentially the same. We wait for the Technical Dept of Darty to get back to us. They told us to find the fuse box that correlates to the stove top. Turn it off. They tell us to wait and they’ll call back in 15 minutes, goodbye. They called back, 25 minutes later, asked us to turn the fuse back on. And voila! It works.

High tech or what….
