My oven isn't working and it is Thanksgiving Eve

SituationIt was late the night before Thanksgiving and my oven won't work.  The landlord doesn't consider this an emergency and tells me I will have to wait until Monday!

Response
Unfortunately, a non-functioning oven is not normally considered an emergency.  It is an inconvenience but not life threatening nor will it damage your property.  Most appliance repair people do not work on Thanksgiving or the day after.  There are no "emergency appliance repair services" like they have for plumbing or heating problems.  The parts stores are also closed for the holiday so even if the landlord knew how to make the repair, he will probalby need a part and that won't be available.
