    Wall oven/microwave double unit stopped working in Aug '22. Contacted authorized repair who came 2 weeks later. Quoted me $200 for a replacement part on the touch pad which I paid for Sept 9 '22. Authorized repair called me back to say the wrong part was ordered and that the actual part was $1,400. Yes - you read that correctly. I was shocked so I called Jenn-Air and told them it was outrageous and that by the time I paid for the oven and this $1,400 part, I should have ordered, and may still, a Wolf oven. They dropped the price to $700. I suspect they think I should have felt amazing about that. I begrudgingly ordered the part for $700 on Oct 3rd which I was told was on backorder.

    It's Nov 17th (3 months later) and I just called Jenn-Air to ask if the part came in. Customer service says the part is indeed in stock, but that there was a note on my file to close the order with a comment that the "customer wants to order Wolf instead" (I paid for the part though and told them to proceed with the order).... Does that sound like sabotage by a customer service rep? It sure does to me... Jenn-Air now says they've "escalated" the request for the part, but can't give me an ETA. Will call them back again in a week to find out how the part ordering is going. Bottom line - don't buy Jenn-Air.

    Installed new oven. Did not work on day one - taking 30+ minutes to bake a Toll House cookie. It did not maintain temperature. It was repaired within the week. Still, food takes longer to cook then advised on packaging. I have been advised to preheat the oven for 40 minutes prior to cooking. Ridiculous. No longer can I rely on pkg instructions to determine cooking time. Generally, it takes 5-10 minutes longer.

    Microwave: My 18 year old microwave popped 1.75 ounces of popcorn with 1 T oil on 80% power in 3.5 minutes. This microwave, will not pop the full amount at 100% power in even 15 minutes. I have had a repair person look at it, and he said I need to add more oil, but the microwave is "fine". I have tried 1.75 oz popcorn with 1/4 cup oil on 100% for 15 minutes and it will neither burn nor cook the full amount. The popcorn setting does not work at all. I wish I could get my 6000$ back but I will at least try to warn others not to make my mistake. Stay away from Jenn-Air appliances.

    We purchased the whole Jenn-Air suite, including their oven, believing their product was superior. We started to have issues with the oven back in 2020. The verbal recommendation from Jenn-Air was to power-cycle the oven when the error occurs. This help until now. But now the oven is now out-of-warranty and we have to pay for service and repair. Nice way to screw the customer, Jenn-Air. I definitely cannot recommend this product and this company.

    Our house came with all Jenn-Air appliances in the kitchen: wall oven microwave combo, stove and hood, refrigerator. Our house was less than two years old when we bought it ( the appliances were installed in 2015). Almost immediately we started getting errors on the control panel and the microwave or oven wouldn't work. Jenn-Air customer support told us to flip the breaker. That worked for a while, with us needing to flip the breaker a few times a year.

    Fast forward 5 years, and the oven rarely stays on for more than 5 minutes before we get an F8E0 Error ("Low Fan Speed Underspeed"). Flipping the breaker no longer works. We called Jenn-Air and they referred us to a third party (Appliance Hospital - a company serving the PNW). They told me I'll need to buy a $2,500 to fix it. After reading these reviews, there's no way I'll do that only to have the oven break down again. I'll just need to bite the bullet and buy a new one from a different manufacturer.

    Since installing this unit in Sept 2020, we have had multiple incidences of the unit shutting off while using the microwave. Repair team has been out five times, going on six as we are still having issues after they replaced the entire motherboard. We just want our money back so we can get a functional unit but that is not an option supposedly.

    First year of ownership was fine, thought we had a nice unit in the in wall microwave/oven combination. Then the problems started. Went to vendor and he suggested turning breaker off for 20 to 30 minutes. Ok, downstairs and back up. It worked. Then it was the process every month or so, go down turn off breaker for 30 minutes. Then it progressed to every week. Now the panel doesn't work at all. These are not cheap units, Jenn-Air should be embarrassed to build these.

    Surprise! We paid tens of thousands of dollars for JennAir appliances when building our home in 2016. Guess what? Doesn't work and they can't repair! The Control panel! We've had service out and they can't tell us when the part will be in. You know the drill. Somehow the control panel gets fried either from a power surge or heat from the oven. Multiple error codes, oven turns off in the middle of a baking cycle or it locks up and the fan stops running, rendering the push buttons unusable. The trip down to my basement to reset the breaker has become a regular trip. But that doesn’t fix the problem despite them telling me to do this and leave the breaker off for 5 minutes. Save yourself a lot of money and don't buy a JennAir. Thousands of people with the same issue and they continue to get on consumers with selling their faulty appliances. Then they do the waiting game of 6 months to a year to only be finding out the needed parts were in back order.

    Bought a Jenn Air double oven in fall of 2017; had sporadic problems with steam/overheating knocking out the control panel. Replaced it once; then in Jan of 2022, it stopped working altogether. I have been waiting for over 4 months now for a replacement control panel - out of stock, and no one can tell me when it will be back in stock. I have placed 3 separate orders in the hopes of finding one - with my dealer, with Sears, and with a Canadian source/dealer. I called Jenn Air direct, and they have no suggestions. Am now facing the reality that I need to buy a new oven (but from another manufacturer). There is no way a $4K+ oven should last less than 5 yrs. Extremely dissatisfied with this company. Stay away!

    After a year of use our Jennair wall oven combo started to turn off and on!! Also the microwave started by itself! Called Whirlpool and they said to turn of the breaker.. so we did. The touch screen stopped working and the OVEN turned on by itself on BROIL. 550F. Called whirlpool again. Said this is a fire hazard leave it off. They sent out a technician only to find that the motherboard was not working… $2500 to replace the motherboard which they said that they would… Do you find out that they do not have the parts for my oven… Called whirlpool got one of the top managers they said that they would replace it and then Covid came we were unable to go appliance shopping…

    We phoned the manager again and he said whirlpool would give us 45 percent off a new wall oven. We were going to buy a basic whirlpool wall oven with microwave But reading the reviews my mind has blown up. MOTHER BOARDS failing, ovens turning on, touch screens not working!! FIRE HAZARDS. And whirlpool wants us to go buy a new unit for around 4,000!! Whirlpool knows about all these defects!! I read someone Wants a class action law suit started. Whirlpool IS HORRIBLE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Your house will burn down And they know about these issues which is the killer!!!

    I've had two JennAir double ovens in six years. The first oven threw codes within the first month F6E9, F3E1, F1E1, F8E0. It was under warranty and technician kept replacing consoles, blowers, etc. Waiting for parts to come in was months. Every time they replaced a part it still wasn't working correctly. After months of this my extended warranty agreed to cash me out. I figured I just got a lemon so I purchased another JennAir double oven because it fit in the cabinet in our new home. The second double oven started throwing codes after the first month of use. I thought here we go again. The technician said my double oven was missing a heat shield. He ordered the part in Aug 21. The part came in wrong 4 times and JennAir batch closed the part on Nov 21. Whatever that means?

    Jan 15, 2021 I was preheating the lower oven (because the technician said not to broil in the upper oven) and I heard a zapping noise. Thank God I was standing there because my house would have burned down. I had an electrical fire. I could see the flames in the upper control panel. I immediately shut the oven down. On top of this, what was I thinking, I started a home bakery. I lost all my Valentines orders. Whirlpool finally decided to cash me out (although it takes a month to get the check). Hopefully I won't have to fight for that.

    I purchased a Bosch this time but who knows. Think about this, who are the Engineers designing these ovens? Heat and condensation does not mix with computers. I wish I could find a 20 year old oven. I'm so sick of dealing with these double ovens. I'm not confident that this next one will work either. We had technicians coming over so often my husband built a platform for when they pull it out to work on it so it wouldn't ruin our hardwood floor. A class action lawsuit, as others recommended is perfect.

    2 year old Jenn-Air convection oven, wall oven, and cooktop have all broken down in a matter of months of each other (3 separate Jenn-Air appliances). We tried fixing them, the wall oven is "fixed" but gives us error messages every now and then, the convection oven is still broken and the technicians have been to our home 3X and then still can't fix it. Jenn-Air support keeps telling us we need more parts and the technicians are now saying they won't come back because they don't get paid for visits.

    On the last call, the support rep simply hung up on me when we asked for them to replace the convection oven. It's been a YEAR since the first oven broke down. I don't have any other option but to purchase new appliances, and they definitely won't be Jenn-Air.

The mother/circuit board has been replaced three times, the front panel replaced twice and the blower fan replaced once. The oven has been down for two months now and the last tech said he can't fix the oven and sent a report to Whirlpool suggesting to replace the oven.

    We spent nearly $5,000 to replace our broken wall microwave/oven combo in Dec 2015. We purchased the same brand since the other lasted 15 years. The touch panel had spontaneous shutdowns, however, it seemed to reset itself for the first 5 years. In the sixth year no reset would work. On the advice of the seller, we called Jenn-Air for help. They refused to admit fault and told us it was out of the warranty period. We had to replace the control board at a cost of $1,000 and labor. Our service representative acknowledged that he has to replace this part regularly. Now within two months of replacement, we are back to having the same shutdowns. I will never buy another Jenn-Air product.

    Not long after purchasing over $20k in Jenn Air appliances, and with minimal use, the wall oven started throwing code F2E1 - key short. Called technician out, and he said, the co tell panel needs to be replaced for $1700 parts and $800 installation. Resetting the circuit breaker worked for a while, but then stopped working. Now I have a non-working and useless wall oven/micro combo. I ordered the part myself for $1,000, easy install just one clip wire. But, the new control board didn’t solve the problem. I could use the oven, but the Microwave buttons defaulted to oven cleaning. So, I sent the control board back, and a new board has been on back-order for 8 months now.

    We had decided to redo our kitchen in 2017 so we got rid of perfectly good appliances to "upgrade" to Jenn-Air. We purchased the microwave-oven double combo. Approximately 6 months into the purchase we kept having problems with the motherboard, the repair man came out and replaced it, as it was still under warranty. Immediately after replacing it, within a few days, we started having the same problems. We have now been through 4 motherboards and now my warranty has expired and it won't work at all.

    I bought my JennAir wall oven in 2018. After a few months the board went out. It was under warranty but still cost me 114.00 service call. JennAir replaced the board and the oven worked until 4 months ago when I got the F6EO message again. I called JennAir and they told to me shut the breaker off, wait 1 min turn it back on. It worked … for 2 weeks and then the message appeared again. Called JennAir again and they told me I’d have to have a service man come out. 114.00 later I’m told the board is defective and it will cost 800.00 to replace it. I explained they just replaced it in late 2018 so it must be under warranty and that’s when I learned the replacement board had a 1 year warranty. I’m on the hook for the new board.

    2 days later my other JennAir wall oven/convection microwave goes out. Call JennAir again. I’m told I have to have service man come out. A week later he shows up, charges me another 114.00 and tells me the converter is out. It will cost 441.00 but the part's on back order and they don’t know when they will come in. He says could be next month or in 6 months. So, today I sit in my home with 2 ovens that don’t work while looking at 1600.00+ in repair bills on 2 ovens that cost me 8,000.00. When I read all the complaints about this junk I’m convinced JennAir knew they were selling junk and continued to do so to unwitting consumers. A class action lawsuit is needed here.

    Replaced 7 yr old Jenn Air with new model convection oven with microwave (circuit board problem others have noted). Convection performance is terrible. Service out to review. I was told that I now have to set convection temperature 25 degrees higher than standard oven setting and everything OK. Result: old oven would cook Tollhouse cookies in 8 minutes at 325 Convection setting. Upped the temperature to 375 Convection setting and cookies browned on edges, raw in middle after 9 minutes. Takes at least 12 minutes to cook (barely) when set 50 degrees higher than when using older model regardless of time for preheating. Disappointed is an understatement. Owner's manual still says "set 25 degrees cooler than recipe if using convection".

    Bought Jenn-Air JJW273ODS when we remodeled our Kitchen in 2017. It was my dream double oven big & sleek and it cost us a whopping $4,000. A big investment we thought would last for years to come. Unfortunately it has turned out to be a lemon and a nightmare. These Jenn-air products seem to have an inherent design failure that the control panel (over $1000 part) goes bad with normal use. The control panel is a computer panel that controls the whole oven. When it goes out neither oven works. Repairman stated this panel is sensitive to heat and steam. It doesn’t take an engineer to figure out that heat and steam will rise and get to this panel but apparently Whirlpool/Jenn air keeps cranking out these defective ovens.

    Our oven went out the first time within months of installation. Repairman warned against using self clean or high heat in upper oven. I used it as gingerly as possible. Interior light started coming on by itself over night then in November f2E1 stuck short key message came up a week before Thanksgiving and our oven has been out ever since because the part is out of stock. We bought Jenn air Brand due to a previous appliance we had great experience with. Where is your quality Jenn air? Did it go down the Whirlpool?
