Whirlpool Ranges & Ovens Reviews

I purchased a new Whirlpool wall oven wos51ec0hs02 and the oven lasted 14 months. The display/control panel could not be reset. The technician came, looked at it and pronounced the board dead. I needed a new display unit. Whirlpool would not honor a replacement and the cost of a board $ 850 plus shipping and a $300 technician fee. An oven lasting only a year. I was not happy. I was not willing to pay more than half the price for a control panel that whirpool knew had a problem. I am still waiting on whirlpool for a replacement. The oven is sitting in a corner of my kitchen. **

The Whirlpool Glass-Top Stove produces uneven heat making meal prep very challenging. The temperature is either too hot or too cool. Any adjustment to the control dial turns the burner heat off or sends the heat to the max amount. The above are not design issues. These stove-tops are designed to be "efficient" and "save energy". Is the American public at risk of running out of energy?

Beware!!!! I have a new range with a new element design, that turns off when it gets too hot, to prevent grease fires. (It's a safety feature.) I have been cooking for 46 years and have never had a fire, nor do I need to be babysat by a stove! AND, 1 of the elements hasn't worked from the first day it arrived. This isn't a problem of the stovetop, it's the elements itself. AND, the oven stopped working within 2 weeks. I'm already waiting for a repairman. Unfortunately, I rent and this piece of poop was what arrived after my other old one broke down. Lucky me.

I purchased a Whirlpool gas oven in March 2024 and June 2025, the glass on the door came off. In my opinion, it’s faulty adhesive, there is no reason the glass should’ve ever came off the door. I called Whirlpool. Whirllpool says that there’s nothing that they can do, they push their extended warranty. And want me to pay for a serviceman to come out here to repair it. In my opinion, a stove should’ve lasted a lot longer than 15 months! Buyer beware. I will never purchase another Whirlpool product again. It’s a waste of time and money. The products are being made cheaper and cheaper and their life expectancy keeps getting shorter and the prices keep going up. They need to build a better quality product. I would be willing to pay a little more money for a better product than to keep wasting money on garbage.

Wow! I thought we had problems with Whirlpool until I read all these reviews. We purchased a home in 2015 with all new Whirlpool appliances. Our refrigerator failed after 3 years, our dishwasher failed after 9 years, and our glass top stove/oven unit has been problematic from the beginning. One of my 4 burners has an issue of not heating with anything other than high. I NEVER leave anything cooking on the stove. When I am able to get the burner to cook on a lower setting, it changes heat to high on its own. My sister-in-law has the same unit and she is experiencing the same problem. She absolutely hates the stove; I live with it for now. Note the picture. The burner is set to low and water is boiling away. I set my watch to remind me to turn off the burner so the water will not boil away. That doesn't work on everything I cook though. Buyer beware. I hope you read all these reviews.

We ordered a new Whirlpool free-standing range because our Whirlpool range of 22 years was having some minor issues. We thought about repairing our old one and should've just figured it out. The new Whirlpool was delivered in May of 2024, the front left burner started getting too hot and one of the screws from the bracket on the element started falling out almost immediately. We just put up with the issue until our oven completely stopped working after 10 months of ownership. It took Whirlpool several days to get someone out and they just said they needed to order parts. A week and a half after the service call, I still don't have a working oven, additional functions have now stopped working, and I can't get the appliance repair company (they have bad reviews online) to call me back. I had to sit on hold for over 25 minutes over two different calls for Whirlpool to get in touch with the repair company, at which point I'm told the part isn't scheduled to ship for FIVE more days.

I have never had problems with older Whirlpool products. We bought a Whirlpool 30” 5.1 cubic foot Black Range model WFG320M0MB. Worst appliance I ever bought! Oven works great, stove top sucks! Burners are way too overpowering. I will have to have a technician come out to hopefully fix it. This is a brand new appliance! Unacceptable! I’ll think twice about buying Whirlpool again!

The oven stopped working after a year, the dishwasher door broke less than a year. Whirlpool is not interested in making anything of quality. Don’t buy their products, may need to spend more for something else, but it’s probably worth it.

We purchased the Whirlpool double gas oven gold series in 2019. We were very excited about a high end appliance. After one year the top oven stopped working, but luckily we were still under warranty. This month at 5.5 years old the bottom oven has quit working. It's very disappointing and fixing it shouldn't cost almost as much as a new oven. Also if you have to call customer care be prepared to have your call dropped or be on hold for 40 minutes.

Bought a brand new range direct ship from Whirlpool. Everything was perfect until we wanted to use the oven. Received the range in mid-November and have had two service visits and they can't get the part to repair our brand-new range. Do not buy from Whirlpool.... three major holidays later our range still isn't repaired. Customer service doesn't care.

I think that high, medium, and low settings should be for the purpose of manually adjusting temperature for yourself. It cuts itself down to a lower temperature on its own, which alters how your food turns out.

I purchased a double wall oven in 2022 from Lowe's. It was cleaned as directed. By 10 months the ceramic coating was literally coming off on the tracks for racks and on the bottom of the oven. Because it was under 1 yr old Whirlpool replaced it. The new oven was slightly different and had more updated features. Also cleaned as directed same issue by 10 months. I have lost my confidence in this product to last beyond 1 year. I use my appliances. I have a large family and enjoy cooking. We'll see how Whirlpool handles this a second time.

I purchased the Whirlpool 5.8 cu.ft. gas range Model WEG745H0LZ1 last year. The knobs to turn gas on are located at the front of the range facing up. The hazard that I'm experiencing with the range is the knobs. As I showed the technician that came to investigate, the knob can be turned on unintentionally just be going by and touching them. The mechanism that keeps the knobs locked is weak and it can be turned on if by accident you touch the knob pushing it down just a bit. When it first happened, I thought I had done something wrong, and after the 5th time I was alarmed. I was cleaning the counter and went to get something in the other room, my husband came in the house to the smell of gas.

We recently renovated our kitchen, starting with a reliable Whirlpool fridge. With that in mind, we decided to add a Whirlpool range, dishwasher, and over-the-range microwave from Home Depot. Since we were still renovating, we didn’t install everything until two days ago. After installation, the burners worked fine, but the next morning, the oven displayed an “ERR EO F3” error code, which Whirlpool says requires a technician visit if power cycling doesn’t work—it didn’t. Home Depot directed us to Whirlpool, but their customer service offered no solution. With this error, the oven is unusable, even though it’s brand new. An oven that fails without even being used? I can’t recommend Whirlpool, especially with limited support and only an extended warranty option on their line. Avoid this brand. By stating that eve.

My Whirlpool range is only 6 years old and I have had several problems with the oven. MODEL WFE770HOFZ2. First I had to replace the baking element on the bottom $62 and now I had to replace the probe that shows temperature in the oven $133. It did not fix the problem and now I am being told it is probably the motherboard which is over $300.. Ranges should last a lot longer than 6 years. I am very disappointed in the life of this appliance and the quality of Whirlpool since they were listed as a top rated company.

I bought a Whirlpool pool glass top stove in 2020. Bought the 3 year warranty. No problems. This is year 4 and sparks shot out of the vent & the stove stopped working. Had a technician come out, it needs a new board that's $450 without labor. This should have lasted longer than 4 years. I would not recommend Whirlpool.

This review is for Whirlpool range with 5 burners. I bought the range on December 2020, I don’t cook much and I am very careful person with all my electronics and all my appliances. On December 2023 the control knob located second from right broke, how?? I don’t know, I went to use the stove, turned the knob and broke, just like that, my husband made a phone call to the parts department for Whirlpool and they sold us the piece for $38 dollars plus tax and shipping, Last week I was cooking and happened the same thing that happened last year, I turned the knob and was loose and broken, as I said I bought the knob in December 2023. We are in September 2024. Only 9 months later and is broken, I called the parts department again 866-698-2538 and I requested a replacement because obviously the part is defective, why the same knob keeps breaking? Why the other 4 are in good standards?

Not a lot of thought went into the design and engineering quality control. Knob labeling confusing. Worse this is the sharp edges on stainless metal. Be very careful when cleaning cooktop. I’ve sliced open a finger and hand doing a simple wipe down. Sharp where class meet stainless steel. Sharp edges along bottom of stainless below the poorly labeled knobs.

Glass top stove at 6 months new - oven light burned out- 1/5 year old now have issues with out-of nowhere clock not working- then last week error codes popping up. Burners work but oven does not... I keep it clean well taken care of... Worse stove and will not buy another Whirlpool!!!

So we bought a new home and it came with a Whirlpool gas range (brand new), I had two repair guys come out to see why the outside of the oven glass door was reading 175°. Went inside the oven is 350. I was told that that’s normal. I Burnt myself on it twice by just touching the display to turn oven off & on, that too got very hot. But was told that’s normal too. Because how they handled the problem I was left with nothing else but to get rid of it and buy a new stove. I did want my grandson to burn himself.

I recently purchased a Whirpool gas range (Model WEG745HOLZ) from Lowe's. I won't get into the delivery/install nightmare I had with Lowe's. That is another rant. First time I used the stove, the front burners would not go as low as simmer and the oven was only heating to 250* when I set it for 350*. Called Whirpool and they sent out a tech to "fix" the problem. He said that the stove was designed to only go so low and that there was no simmer setting and that I should set my "bake" time a little longer. Not acceptable. Called Whirpool back and told them I had gotten a manual temp gauge and the oven was off by 100*. They said I should not rely on a manual gauge, but there was something in the settings that I could raise the temp. Grrrr!! Fixed that problem then I noticed that my cabinets were getting very warm when using the oven.

This Whirlpool range/oven Model # WFE320M0J53 DOES NOT preheat at any desired temperature properly. Always 35 to 45 degrees less than desired setting. I have had a Whirlpool technician out for repair and was told it was a bad temperature probe, he replaced it and it still does not heat at desired setting without having to up the temp and continue to check it with a oven temp gauge. Since I have had two independent techs out for the same issue and both said this product from Whirlpool is pure "garbage". As you can see in photo it has been preheating for 50 minutes at 485 just to get it to 450! I DO NOT recommend this range from Whirlpool!!!! This was a new oven/range that came with a new house! (Purchased 03/2023)

When we called customer service to tell them that it’s not working properly, they told us we’ll have to pay the service charge even though it’s under warranty for one year and they kept insisting the range works as it is supposed to and they refuse to fix it. We cannot cook our food because it lights up and then it doesn’t come back to the proper normal heat. According to them, it’s a safety feature, which makes no sense, if the temperature is not maintained how the cooking process will be completed.

We have had nothing wrong with the function of the stove top/oven however it is like whoever designs these things has never actually had to cook on or clean them afterwards! The gunk and grease that gets trapped in the crevasses is next to impossible to get cleaned out!

I bought a stove range from Lowe's which is a Whirlpool Brand and the burners were not working properly since day one. They sent a Technician out to look at the Range and he told me that they put the wrong switch in for the burners. They tried to fix it and I thought everything was fine. One month after the burners started with the same problem. I called Whirlpool to replace the Stove Range because I was embarrassed in the presence of my visitors because the stove was not working right. I called Whirlpool and was told that they only repair the Stove range but they cannot replace same. Presently, I am seeking legal advice because I do not want this stove range in my house. I need a replacement. Another thing, Whirlpool's customer Service representative told me that they coming to take out the stove today, only to be told otherwise. They are liars and scammers. I NEED A REPLACEMENT or else we are going to court.

Updated on 12/17/2024: There is no improvement. We are less than 9 months in to last repair and the same thing just broke again. It's 9 days before Christmas and I have no oven once again. This is the 2nd time in an oven not even used 3 years. Whirlpool should be ashamed of this product. I am beyond angry and frustrated and can't afford to buy a new appliance right now. Do not buy this hunk of garbage.

The Whirlpool stove I bought to replace my Kenmore makes me wish I kept my old stove. The ceramic top on this stove is impossible to clean after less than two weeks of use and not all the burners have been used. I called the store I bought if from and they recommended a couple of products and told me that the new cooktops are not like the older ones. I have a bad case of buyers remorse. My advise is stay away from Whirlpool stoves.

Ordered a Whirlpool appliance set for our Florida condo. Microwave works fine but oven takes forever to warm up. In addition the freezer seal fell out and could not be fixed by the tech so a new one was ordered just out of warranty. This year the refrigerator seal has come undone and I've had to glue it back in. These appliances are barely used yet are falling apart. Stay far away.

This worthless piece of range came with new home purchase. Purchased new build home in April 2023 so far had to call whirlpool 4 times for service. I have asked to speak with management regarding my concerns of the solution they are providing but steady sending technician out to fix a new range! It’s bad when the technicians will tell you that Whirlpool will rather send them out which will cost 3x as much of just replacing the range!

I just bought a new home and it came with this useless range. No matter how I try to "self-clean" it does not work. There is no heat and 40 mins later it is still dirty. I had to look up online to see if I was doing it wrong but NO it is a useless range that does NOT self clean. Aqualift Clean. what a scam!!!! I want a refund.

Purchased a new Whirlpool as replacement. After adjusting the calibration as directed in the manual it still takes 50 minutes to complete a 20 minute recipe. I initiated a chat at Whirlpool and the virtual assistant gave me a link to the manual (I'm old. I still have manuals to stoves I bought 20 years ago. A link to the manual is unnecessary and infuriating).

My house came with a new Whirlpool wall oven. I filed the warranty papers in May 2023. I subsequently filed a support ticket since the oven took 1.5h to heat up. Documentation claims 15-20 minutes. After this, I have had 5 visits, 1 by an electrician that verified that the correct electrical current reached the oven, and 4 visits by a certified Whirlpool technician, certified and recommended by Whirlpool as a result of filing my support ticket. We are now at September 17 and my oven still does not work. The certified Whirlpool technician has replaced the control board, the wiring harness and the broiler element. None of these efforts have solved the problem, the oven is equally useless as it was in May 2023.

We bought a beautiful new Whirlpool set of appliances 14 months ago from a reputable appliance store. 14 months later we have had a problem with every single appliance although most were minor inconveniences and were repaired within a few months. The oven, however is now useless. The repairman has been out three times to fix this oven and now has essentially given up. He called Whirlpool's tech assistance line and they basically told to to keep replacing things until it works again. This, of course would cost more than the darn thing is worth, so we are obviously are not going that route. The service man is refunding all our money so basically Whirlpool is jerking everyone in this situation. Thanks Whirlpool. You are the kind of company that makes this country run. :-(

A brand new oven was purchased in April 2017...in 2019 there was a problem with the control board, a repairman came and fixed that. In 2022 the control board went out again and would cost too much money to fix, damn near the cost to buy another new Whirlpool lousy stove, NEVER WILL I BUY A WHIRLPOOL STOVE AGAIN. Their stove with that computer control board has a serious flaw and should be removed off the market for sale. New stoves should not break down in 5/6 years. Whirlpool stoves are a bunch of crap.. PASS ON BUYING A WHIRLPOOL STOVE.

Purchased a new Whirlpool gas stove 4 years ago and within two weeks the oven light stopped working. Replaced with new build; still did not light up. In third year the oven began to have intermittent heating problems. Would not heat up above 150 degrees. This problem occurs often at this time. Diagnosis and repair is expensive. Leaning close to the knobs has turned on the burners accidentally. The metal exterior is so flimsy that the oven, when it did heat up, it caused the Formica counter top next to the stove to lift up. I hate this stove and no longer trust the Whirlpool products.

Purchased Gas Range Feb.1, 2021. By April 2023 is needs a new mother board and igniter. $500 for parts plus paid $174.00 for service. Response from customer service. "You should have gotten the extended warranty." I had GE range for 17 years. Never a service call. Why would I think a extended warranty would be needed. Also bought a Whirlpool Washer at the same time. Hate it!

I purchased my house in August 29th 2022 and the oven went out on January 23rd 2023. It keeps flashing an error code Err F1 E0. It is now March 27th 2023 and my stove is still out. The service tech says the parts on back order and Whirlpool don't have any answers and will not replace the unit. I have thrown out some of the food because it has expired and I more to expire soon. #youtellme

I bought a Whirlpool range in may 2022. The top worked great. We tried to use oven for thanksgiving but it would not go past 190? We waited on hold for hours before finally got a person on the phone on 12/15. They were supposed to have a repair person on the 3rd of January. Never showed. They were to have another one on 1/13. Never showed either and every time we try to call we have to wait as much as 5 hours to talk to someone who then keeps on giving me the runaround. All my appliances for the past 20 years have been whirlpool but now will not buy anything else from whirlpool/Maytag/Amana and still don't have a working oven.

I purchased a Whirlpool slide in range on March 26, 2020 for 1200.00. From the beginning I was not happy with the product. I found the glass top difficult to keep clean. Fast Forward to November 6,2022. The oven quit working would not heat above 300 degrees. My husband ordered a heating element and replaced it. Still did not work. We called an appliance repair company. The whole motherboard was shot. 450.00 for parts plus labor. I was devastated. Now mind you that is 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and I have 20 people coming to my house, so I need an oven. Called Whirlpool and they said so sorry, they can offer me 40 percent off regular price and 20 percent off sale items but there is a catch. Only can order off their site and would take a month to get here.

Purchased to replace a previous smooth top Whirlpool with no knobs. That was a Schott Ceran cooktop. Loved it, but due to an accident the top was cracked and we decided to replace it. Cleaned easily, completely and with no streaks. The new one is not Schott Ceran and cannot get it clean without streaks. Contacted Whirlpool and they said they have no knowledge of dissatisfaction. They must not read the reviews. Difficulty cleaning is probably the top issue. The cooktop itself is quite good but still prefer the old smooth top with touch controls.
