Whirlpool Ranges & Ovens Reviews

I Purchased a Whirlpool ceramic top self-cleaning oven & side-by-side refrigerator from Sears. I just want to share my experience. I do not have the exact year I purchased them. Too bad I was not aware of this site but after a year with the refrigerator I knew I would not buy another side-by-side and not a Whirlpool. The refrigerator motor runs too loud, the ice maker was forever stopping even during the summer. If you cleared the ice jams it would not reset for hours. The ice maker was replaced under warranty but it still jams; however now when you clear the ice from the trays it produces ice quickly.

I have owned an Accubake gas range since April 2012. The range is 3 months out of warranty, and the oven will not light... just a clicking sound and gas pouring into the oven. I have also had problems with the burners being turned on by brushing against against the knobs. I have a note by the stove to remind myself to check that the knobs are in the OFF position. My 1 year old grandson turned the burner on just by touching the knob... NO SAFETY FEATURES!!! I haven't checked to see what a repair is going to cost me, but if it is several hundred dollars, I will just replace this piece of junk. It is very sad that a costly brand new appliance only comes with a one year warranty. I will never ever buy another Whirlpool appliance!!

Whirlpool Accubake Gas stove/oven - Several times now, in the year and a half that I've owned this appliance, I've had issues with the knobs easily being turned on. The pilot never lights, and gas leaks horribly. One day I decided to take my daughter to the park and we'd ran into the kitchen to grab a few drinks. A few hours later when we came home, I barely got the key in the door when I smelled gas. I left the door wide open and stepped inside the house and saw the not one, but two knobs had somehow been turned on. I'm assuming that when my daughter and I grabbed our drinks, one or both of us must have barely bumped the knobs. We had to stand outside and leave the front door open for over an hour to air out the house!

Very unreliable oven. Oven temperature never seems to get to the proper setting. Do not buy any Whirlpool appliance. They do not stand behind their product. A stove should be relatively simple but Whirlpool managed to produce a product that is complicated & unreliable.

I spent the extra money and bought a very nice looking Whirlpool range and oven. Within months, it started rusting. I keep a meticulously clean kitchen and I've never had this problem with any other appliance. I sent letters to no avail. They said that their warranty on rust was 30 days! They refused to do anything about it and told me to go ahead and sue them. Terrible product. Defective from the factory. Do not ever buy a Whirlpool product as they do not stand behind it.

I am a senior who has not used the Whirlpool Range installed by the builder in 2007 very much. First of all, I did not like the way the covered jets hid the lighted jets when they were turned on low. Then about 8 months ago, I smelled gas and no one had used the range. I checked the knobs and one was turned slightly without any gas lit. I know that for years the companies were required to have push-in knob before you could turn them for safety reasons (especially children). These knobs barely push in before turning so that they can easily be accidentally brushed against and leak gas, which is exactly what happened to me again today.

I just bought a house that has one of these ranges, and it was getting the F2 message. I found the problem. There is NO ventilation behind the electronic control so when the oven heats up, the control board gets too hot and throws the F2 code. That would indicate a bad temp sensor or bad board, but really it's the heat shield on the back. I've removed the metal plate from behind the control panel and it works fine now. I'm considering drilling some vent holes and adding some insulation behind the control.

I bought a new Whirlpool electric range in the spring of 2008 and purchased the extended warranty from Leon's. The oven worked fine for the first three & 1/2 years, but then the bottom element in the oven seemed to have stopped working. The top element would still come on, in an effort to keep the oven at temperature, but was not effective.

I purchased from Sears in 2011. We were advised to purchase the extended warranty, use the product for a period of 4 or 5 months, then cancel that warranty and a balance refund will be issued. We did. Looking back now, we're glad we did cancel that extended warranty due to the fact this range began throwing out the F2 code error with that continuous beeping after the warranty would have expired anyway. Does anyone else see a problem with placement of the electronic control panel directly above the venting for the oven? I'm no brainiac, but logic tells me this type of electronic is not designed to withstand the heat emitted from the oven vent repeatedly. I have to flip the circuit breaker off to get it to stop! Only way to shut it up. Entire control panel is rendered useless during these episodes and it doesn't happen every time, very random.

We purchased our oven in February 2012. In April 2013, we began smelling gas. I called the gas company. They came within thirty minutes and determined the gas was coming from within the oven by using a gas detecting probe. The gas was turned off by the gas company. I contacted an appliance company who came out for $95.00 and used some type of spray looking device to check for leakage or bubbles to tell us we had no problem. Our warranty was only good for the one year. The appliance company ripped us off and Whirlpool was a bad deal. After reading of all the complaints of Whirlpool, I will not buy Whirlpool ever again. I will admit that the stove worked fine for the year. I was hoping for a longer life of this stove. Now, I'm afraid to use it.

Over the last 3 years, the self-cleaning oven has decided to lock the door and clean itself with my food still inside on five different occasions. There is no way to override the lock. We have to shut off the electric power completely then wait for the oven to cool down before we can open the door and remove the charcoal substances! This happened once while a member of our fire department was here for dinner.

Whirlpool accubake slide in gas range - After using the auto clean button on the range, the digital panel will not work and the oven door will not open.

I purchased a Whirlpool electric range 18 months ago. Recently, the oven started overheating. The display reads "Fault detected. Press start to clear." Pressing start did nothing and the oven door was locked as though it was in the self-clean cycle. We had to trip the circuit breaker to turn the oven off and allow the door to open. The food inside was ruined. After three episodes in one week, I scheduled a service call through the Whirlpool website. When the repairman came, he determined the electronic circuit board was faulty. His suggestion was that I buy a new stove since the repair would cost $425 (the part itself was $280). Not wanting to replace a stove that wasn't 2 years old, I went ahead with the repair.

I just bought my stove four years ago. Every time I want to bake something, I have to run a fan on my stove because it overheats and shows an F2 error message. I then have to unplug it, leave it unplugged for 20 or so minutes. Once it cools down, I can plug it back in and use it. I have to go through this every time I use the oven. It's annoying and I lose a lot of food because sometimes, it just won't work. Idk what to do!

I purchased a new home and then purchased 4 appliances, all Whirlpool Gold. In less than a year, the stove's electronic ignition and the microwave hood keypad went out. Since they were under warranty, a repairman replaced a bunch of parts and now they are working fine. One month after the refrigerator was out of warranty, the water line to the ice cube maker split about an inch and a half and water would spew out onto the hardwood floor under the unit. We were on vacation for all that month and didn't see any damage until one day there was a puddle in front of the refrigerator. When we pulled it out, we saw that the floor was ruined under the unit, the cabinet next to it black with mold and of course, the line had to be replaced.

On April 2, 2013 my Whirlpool oven overheated and burned my food. I quickly pulled the oven away from the wall to cut off the gas supply. The oven was displaying an overheat code F3E2. I began to email the Whirlpool corporation regarding this issue and within several days, the safety department of Whirlpool contacted me. They will pay a contractor to repair the oven. Now that is the kind of customer service I love. They didn't hesitate to fix the issue. I would have to consider buying Whirlpool products in the future. The last Whirlpool products I purchased, a washer and dryer, have been great products. Many thanks to the safety department at Whirlpool. Job well done.

I called the dealer's repair department, which said they had not seen this before and it looks defective. I have used the oven less than a dozen times. It is virtually new. They submitted pictures to Whirlpool. The oven surround is not replaceable, so the request is to get a new oven. Whirlpool responded with, "This is normal... when the cracks break through, then there is a problem." What?! I have been cooking for over 50 years and have never had this experience before. This product is under warranty. By the time it cracks through, it will be too late to do anything about it. Since when is crazing on the oven bottom natural, especially after only a very few times used? This is defective and Whirlpool is shirking their warranty. I am very dissatisfied.

Several days ago on April 02, 2013, while using my oven (model: SF367LEKB, Whirlpool self cleaning oven, super capacity 465) the food inside started burning. Turning the oven off did not work. The burner in the over continued firing. I unplugged the unit, no good. I pulled the range from the wall to turn the gas valve off and that did it. I don't trust Whirlpool products and their customer service doesn't believe me. I will never again purchase any products made by Whirlpool. I believe they are dangerous and of poor quality. How does underwriters laboratory qualify their products as being safe?

My range was made after this date and needs this Service Bulletin part. Whirlpool refuses to ship at no cost. I have spent money on this already to discover they knew the issue in April 2004 yet sold the range in October 2005. Rena in service stated she is the highest authority at Whirlpool anyone can talk to!

I bought new and both have broken over and over. The oven takes forever to heat up. The fridge's ice maker broke and then the defroster in the fridge side broke. Don't buy Whirlpool.

I bake a lot so my husband bought me a new gas range for our 54th anniversary. After the first few times I used the oven, I decided to clean it. I noticed then that there were some burnt grease spots and streaks between the oven glass door. After 2 years of use, it has gotten much worse so I decided to take the door apart to try to clean the glass in between the layers of glass but there are three instead of two. I cleaned the inside of the outer glass, but that didn't take care of the problem. Most of the stains are between the other two panes of glass. That, I can't get to. I feel that this is poor design and not sealed properly. I take good care of everything I own and I expected this range to last me the rest of my life but it is put together with cheap plastic parts that won't last long. It is the first new range that I ever owned and paid a lot more for it than any I've had. I expected better.

Our home is only 8 years old. Our neighbor's and double ovens have all gone out! I mean it just quit working and the parts and repairs are crazy expensive! We have already spent $400 on a control board and now we need a control panel which is another $300! It's ridiculous spending $700 on repair of an oven that should have lasted a lot longer! Another thing is that our ovens are white and now the panels only come in black! I will never ever buy Whirlpool appliances again and I am spreading the word to everyone I know!

I had a perfectly good Kenmore range, but I didn't like the color. I purchased a Whirlpool 30-inch gas range at Lowe's. I had problems immediately! The repairmen were at my house 6 times within the first year. My warranty expired and they wanted me to pay for an extended warranty. I refused to pay any more for this piece of junk! I fought with Whirlpool and demanded they either replace the range or reimburse me the full cost. They finally agreed, after many heated conversations, to replace or reimburse me as long as I promised not to purchase a Whirlpool product again.

On December 24, I was planning my annual Christmas Eve dinner when my oven just decided to quit working completely. This was the third time my oven broke down on me. I called Whirlpool and they pretty much told me they'll get to me when they can but it was the holiday. So I understood that it would be a few days. I had a technician come out to my house on December 27 and tell me that he needed to order a fuse. He called all over the state to find one but no one had one so he put it as an emergency. The technician did everything he could to accommodate me but could only do so much. So I waited and waited but heard nothing.

We purchased a Whirlpool Accubake Drop-in Stove (Model # RS675PXG015) on 10/21/2006 from Lowes Companies, which cost $1,100.00. In 11/2012, we had an error message E1-F2, and we tried everything to get it to clear - all suggestions given by electrical repairman who does repair for Lowes Cos. The stove is porcelain, which also has problems of staining that can't be cleaned. We were told the repair would cost $200 for the panel, and if that doesn't work, another $400 for the other panel. In reviewing other complaints for this Whirlpool stove, there are enough complaints to recall this item or at least give deep cuts for the parts to repair this stove. We have purchased other Whirlpool items, and this one is not well made and too costly to repair. It should last at least 15 years or more. Can't Whirlpool do something about this obvious problem?

Recently, I was having a problem with my Whirlpool gas range so I contacted the 1-800 number. Long story short, the repair cost was so high I would be better off getting a new range. But believe me, it will not be a Whirlpool.

I was so excited when I bought this stove. It broke right outside the warranty. It shuts off in the middle of baking or just doesn't stay on at all. Bad, bad, bad. They told me it would cost $400 just for the part, not including installation. What a rip off. I called the tech and he said this is a known problem. He advised me to just toss it and buy Hotpoint which has a much better consumer report rating. Sad.

We purchased a Whirlpool 5 top burner gas range in 2008. The oven stopped working. It would click 2-3 times, heat to 100 degrees then stop. Luckily, the range was still in the 1 year warranty. WP sent a tech out who eventually deemed it non-repairable. WP replaced the range. We were sent a letter offering an extended warranty plan May/June 2012. We took advantage considering our troubles with the first range. In October 2012, we noticed the oven started the same problem (2-3 clicks and would not ignite). In addition, the top burner clicks on its own to the point to having to unplug it. Since then, we have not plugged it back in for we feel it’s not safe!

I bought a gas range (#WFG524SLAB0) in July 2012. Two weeks ago, the oven stopped igniting. I called Whirlpool to have it serviced and they sent out someone from A &E Service Repair, who told me an igniter had to be ordered and it would take a week to come in. (He said he will order the part.) Then he told me to call Whirlpool again and schedule another appointment. Whirlpool sent out one of their techs two days later, who told me the same thing about the oven and said a part will need to be ordered. I told him it was ordered and he looked and said no part was ordered.

We purchased this Whirlpool electric range model WFE361LVT on October 20th, 2011 and on November 26th, 2012, the oven stopped working. When the customer service agent answered my call (after being on hold for 21 minutes), she set up an appointment for a repair person to come out to look at it for $79. I cancelled the appointment and looked up the issue and the part number. After doing research, I saw that we're not the only one with a problem with Whirlpool products and customer service. How sad that this is the best made in America company can do.

A couple of years ago I replaced my Whirlpool gas range because after seven years, the house was growing a gas smell that was becoming stronger. I called the gas company and they determined that it was the oven and not their problem. I called an appliance person who could not find the leak but charged me for the service call. Before I had him leave though, I called the gas company back and had the two talk. There was a conflict with their assessments. The service guy left frustrated. The gas company guy came back and again checked and told me that the oven is definitely leaking. He told me they use instruments, not soap, to determine leaks. With this, I was mad at the appliance company.

I purchased a gas range stove about three to four years ago. I am extremely dissatisfied with this Whirlpool stove. This is the second time the electric ignitors have been replaced due to the stove not working and it is still not working right. The gas valve regulator has also been replaced because it went bad too and my oven still isn't working. I have already put around two hundred dollars in and no one has any idea why it isn't working. Apparently these stoves are a real piece of ** and everyone is having the same type of problems. Something should be done for the customers as it is now. I will never buy Whirlpool again. What a piece of garbage!

We bought all new appliances, and within a year, the range and microwave are not working correctly and the refrigerator has rust on the doors. We called about the rust on the doors and were told that it is not stainless steel as advertised and rust is not covered. Fortunately, we purchased an extended warranty, which will cover the repairs to the oven and microwave. We'll see how it goes. Stainless steel appliances really aren't stainless steel, so they are misrepresenting their products to many people.

I purchased this range/electric (ygfe461lvq0) two years ago. It worked fine, but once about a year ago, the oven overheated and the breaker had to be turned off to stop it. No error codes were displayed. Year two, the oven broiler element stays on regardless if using bake or broil. Oven will go into runaway mode and breaker or cancel button has to be pushed to stop it from over heating. This range is a fire hazard and should be recalled regardless of what age it is. I called Whirlpool at Sears which recommended a tech who arrived to tell me that the control board is shot and for a price of around $400.00, it could be replaced. What is up with that? I had to pay for the expensive tech, also for 15 minutes of work. Sears says that I should have taken the extended warranty plan for around $160. Do I have to pay for an extended plan to have my house burned down due to a defect in manufacturing from Whirlpool? This is disgusting that a company can get away with crap like this. How do you people sleep at night?

I bought a Whirlpool 5-burner gas range with double oven at a cost of $1700. Almost immediately, the finish above the oven started cracking and now is starting to chip off. When I contacted them, they stated cosmetics were only good for 30 days. We had just moved and were getting settled so we didn't use the range much for the first 30 days. I am very unhappy with this product and also unhappy with Sears for their lack of effort.

The electric range was purchased June 2011. In June 2012, I purchased the extended warranty from Whirlpool (or their agent). The range is located in a summer cottage, so it has minimal use. I cleaned the "self-clean" oven last week after carefully reading the manual. Manual did not state to remove the chrome drip pans on the top, just “remove oven racks and storage drawer contents”. The oven cleaning caused the right rear burner pan to turn bronze/black. I called Whirlpool. I was referred to Warranty folks who told me they will not cover it because it is cosmetic and referred me back to Whirlpool (as it was WP instructions that were incorrect!) I called Whirlpool and they will not replace the chrome pan. I can purchase one. This is not my fault as aforementioned. I have been a Whirlpool customer for years. I will never buy another WP product. If they cannot write the instructions correctly, it makes we wonder about the product.

The Whirlpool range #GY398LXPQ00 is four years old. This is the fourth major problem. Oven overheats and will not function. I set it at 350 and the bottom coil and broiler both came on and overheat quickly. This is the third time with same problem. I am going to have enough invested in repairs to buy another range. I shall never purchase another item made by Whirlpool or any of its affiliates. That leaves me with Samsung or Bosch, I think. The people are very curt and offered no help at all so calling them is extremely useless. This range is definitely a lemon. Too bad, there aren't avenues to make them replace it. I am angry, disappointed, and disgusted. Are you listening, Whirlpool? Never again. May your company go down the drain.

Buyers beware of Whirlpool ovens! We bought a Whirlpool Built-In Electric Oven in August 2008. Fifteen months later, I decided to clean the oven for the first time and when I turned it on the auto-clean, the entire control panel went dark. The technician said he has seen this problem several times in such ovens and was able to repair the oven. I called Whirlpool and they had not heard of this being a common problem.

Do not buy Whirlpool appliances! Save yourself the trouble. I have a Whirlpool free-standing gas range that I bought when I purchased my house in June 2008. Just the other day, the oven stopped working. When I went to turn the oven on, I can hear a clicking sound but the burners in the oven do not ignite. I called Whirlpool and they offered to send someone out to fix the problem. By the time someone comes out and charges me for parts, labor, etc, I will probably have paid half of what I paid for the range when it was new! I also had the same thing happen with a Frigidaire refrigerator last year! The bottom line is that brand name appliances are not built the way they used to be. I am actually looking at buying a Samsung or some other model and try my chances with them!

We purchased a Whirlpool AccuBake oven in 2005. I think we used the self-cleaning feature about 3 times. The reason I mention this is it may be a possible cause to the frightening experience we had on August 15, 2012. My wife was cooking on the stove top when suddenly we heard loud electrical explosions coming from the back of the oven. We soon saw long arcing bolts of sparks shooting out the back, and my wife was terrified and didn't know what to do. I told her and my son to stay away from it. I ran to the circuit breaker box and turned off the breaker. We then looked in the back of the oven and it was on fire. I ran around looking for a fire extinguisher but my son managed to put the fire out. We called Whirlpool up and explained what had happened. They immediately sent someone out to look at it.

I bought a house and for the first time in my life, I was able to afford and buy all new Whirlpool appliances at Sears. I worked so hard all my life and was so happy I could get new appliances when I was almost 50 years old. Up until then, I could only afford to get used appliances. Even then I had to finance them with a credit card, only to be so sad and disappointed. They are without a doubt the ** junk I have ever had. I wish I could have all my old appliances back.

We bought a Whirlpool cook stove with a black top in 2009 and this year, in 2011, while cooking a pot of stew, the stove top burner began to make loud popping sounds. When I went to check it out, there was smoke coming out from under the pan and pieces of glass that had exploded out in small chunks. When calling the customer service line at Whirlpool, they told us that it was no longer under warranty and could not be of help. Their only explanation was that they would only cover a new stove top if it had cracked or broken this way when putting a cold pot on a hot burner. They said their technician could tell if this was why the shards of glass were exploded from the burner.

The stove is only 5 years old. The oven would not ignite. The gas was getting through, but there's no flame. Sears repaired it and put a complete flame and ignitor piece at a cost for a part of $132.00. I feel the stove is too new to have to replace anything. I am retired, so I do not use the oven often. I have only cleaned the oven one time in five years. It is very clean. I picked this stove out and paid $900.00, because I liked the style and everything about it. I feel you should look into this, and I should not have to pay for repairs in such a short time of ownership. The repair person said this stove already had an upgrade in it. Please respond. Does the whole heating element need replacing or just the ignitor?

I have had trouble with this AccuBake stove since four months after I bought it in 2011. First, the clean cycle would work intermittently then would not ignite to bake, broil warm or clean. All burners would light intermittently. Every time I had trouble, I called the service tech from Homestead Lumber, where I purchased the product from and he could never find anything wrong. Product would work fine whenever he came out. Finally, it acted up in May of this year while the product was still under warranty and while the service tech was here. The tech replaced the circuit board. One month later, I'm still having trouble replacing igniter. Four days ago, I'm still having trouble. This stove stinks. Right now, I wish I had my $959 back for the stove and wish Whirlpool had it stuck up their butt.

I purchased a Whirlpool range from Lowe's for $750.00. After 13 months, the digital circuit board went out and cost $580.00 to repair. I thought this was odd since the range was fairly new. The service tech said the boards are a common problem. Two years later, when using the self-cleaning mode, the door was locked and the board was out again. So this must be the issue because that is the same problem that happened the first time. This must be a design flaw! The board cannot handle the heat generated in self-clean mode. Way to go Whirlpool, put the board near the oven door where it is subjected to extreme heat and melts!

We purchased our brand new home ten years ago and we were thrilled it had a double wall oven unit that I had always dreamed of owning. Well, the first time I used the self-cleaning mode that dream became a nightmare! The oven was in cleaning mode and I was so happy as I had never had a self-cleaner before! When the cleaning was done, the door remained locked and the control panel was not working. After making sure it was cooled the next day, I called for warranty repair. They came out and fixed it and apologized for the inconvenience. I was thinking it was just a glitch and went on with life.

Whirlpool’s customer service is one of the worst I have encountered. They consider a 6-7 year old $1500.00 range to be old! I said to her, “Wow, if the population was to throw their Whirlpool appliances into the landfills after 7 years, this would be quite a horrendous situation.” I think it's disgusting for a company to build appliances with a shelf life of 6-7 years and with only a 1-year warranty! What a horrible brand! I will never buy another Whirlpool brand product ever again. You spend $1500.00 on a range oven and then around 5 to 7 years the control board blows out and costs another $500.00 to replace plus a service agents fee to remove and install.

First, let me say we are so lucky and blessed to get home in time to prevent my home from burning. My Whirlpool range, model 4rf364pxk0, apparently decided to turn itself on (no one home) and grew hotter and hotter. It obviously burned out the thermostat because it was way hotter than cleaning mode. The key pad was melted and sagging inward the control panel warped, heat pouring from it. The racks and interior were glowing orange! My back splash tile blackened and cracked! The oven door locked! Oven hood ruined although it probably saved my cabinets! We hit the breaker! There was so much heat you could feel it on the outside of the exterior wall of the house 30 minutes later!

I purchased this Whirlpool range, model #RF262LX80, with ceramic top through my job (a construction company). It was delivered on June 23, 2006. This past Saturday, June 23, 2012, I was cooking on the right front large burner and after I finished steaming crabs, I removed the crabs from the pot onto a platter with the control turned off. About five minutes later, I heard a popping sound and realized that the top had cracked and blistered glass fragments, and two hole-like parts in the center of the burner had appeared. I am a widow and very seldom use this front large burner and in the six years, I would guesstimate maybe 200 times. I feel this is a defect in engineering or manufacturing. I called the service line and the woman with whom I talked with was not very helpful or kind to my problem. I am very disappointed. Thank you.

We purchased a gas range (Whirlpool AccuBake model # mfgxfg361lvt1 serial ry1810956) a few years ago and have been very unhappy with the gray grids that it came with. We wrote to you about how we should clean them and you recommended heavy-duty degreaser, pin31552a and gas grate & grill cleaner, pin3167a, which we purchased. Neither worked, even with heavy elbow grease. We are very upset. We have purchased Whirlpool products all of our life and would like an answer or some type of explanation. If possible, can we get the grids in black? We try our best to keep these things clean and this is a very bad patten.

I purchased this Whirlpool, model YGY397LXUQ04, electric range in midsummer 2011 and used it very infrequently for approximately 5 months as we were away for 6 months during the winter. On approximately June 15, 2012, we found that the keypad would only register 350 deg. F for the oven if we pushed the bake button two times and the oven temperature would go up to 550 deg; F if we pushed the 7 button 3 times. In discussion with the service manager from Whirlpool, he advised that the stove was out of warranty and they would supply parts at no cost but we would have to pay the labor costs which in my estimation would cost over $200. After searching the internet for similar problems, it was evident that this problem was not uncommon. I am concerned about the quality of this product and if it can possibly be a fire hazard. I would not recommend this product as the quality, possible safety issues and reliability are a significant concern.

I bought my Whirlpool range in 2009. Good thing I bought an extra warranty because since then, my oven has stopped working about 5 or 6 times. When I turn the oven on, it does the clicking sound, it starts up then it turns off and sometimes it doesn't even turn on. In 2010, I had my turkey ready for the oven at Thanksgiving. I turned on the oven and nothing. I had to cut the turkey and deep fry it. In 2011, same time on Thanksgiving and now I've been waiting for 2 weeks for the part. I have 4 kids. I need an oven. I can't take this anymore. Also, out of the blue, sometimes the stove top starts clicking on its own and it scares the hell out of us. I have to unplug the stove. Help.

Misinformation provided about their products - I ordered the Whirlpool 30" Drop-In Electric Range pictured in their literature with a gray oven door. When I had it installed, I thought it had a green film covering the oven door. It is not a film. It is the oven door color. It does not show that or talk about it in any of the literature. I would not have bought or paid to have this range installed. The green color does not go in my kitchen! I would sue them for misinformation if I had the money to spare! I will never buy another Whirlpool item.

Model #RF262LXSQ Serial #RT2031953 - I purchased this appliance from Lowe's approximately 6 years ago. Last week, I was heating soup and about 5 minutes after I placed the pot on the stove on medium, I heard a large pop and then several cracking noises. When I entered my kitchen, I found the burner flaming red, and when I tried to remove the pot, it was stuck. I immediately turned the burner off and after a few minutes, when it began to cool, was able to remove the pot. What I found was the glass top had melted and blistered and was cracked from front to the back of the stove. Although Lowe's was not able to help me, they suggested that I contact you as they had never heard of this happening before. Not only am I dissatisfied that a stove should last many years past this purchase, I am inconvenienced until another stove can be delivered. I believe this to be a factory malfunction of the stove and request a credit for my purchase.

We purchased our home in 5/09. Within a month, we had to replace the defective gas valve due to inefficient burning. Our house smelled like gas each time we used the oven. It was under warranty at that time so Whirlpool replaced it. It is now 5/12 and out of warranty. We called a local independent technician who informed us the oven wouldn't turn on due to another issue with the gas valve, the same one that had been replaced shortly after we moved in. He went to his local supplier to purchase the gas valve to be informed that they couldn't seem to keep this particular gas valve in stock, simply because it's a reoccurring known issue and Whirlpool needed to do something about it.

Whirlpool electric range with ceramic cooktop - I have a large black mark on one of the cooktop burners that appears to be beneath the surface of the cooktop. It’s almost within the finish of the burner and unable to be cleaned with cooktop cleaner. I have purchased an extended warranty and arranged for a service call. The repairman came out as scheduled, but informed me after making a phone call to who knows, because he did not tell us that the problem was "cosmetic" and could not be repaired under warranty.

I recently just purchased a new home with an upgrade provided by the builder (which I paid), kitchen appliances to Whirlpool Gold package. 2 weeks from the time the house closed escrow, I used my Whirlpool Gold Accu Bake wall oven self-clean feature. I set it for 2 1/2 hours, which is not even a full cycle of 4 hours. I noticed after 2 hours that the oven shut down. The oven exhaust was hot and the panel control as well, (almost burned my hand). No power and door locked. After a week of waiting to cool down hoping it will unlock and turn back on, it didn't. I called the builder and Whirlpool. Of course, the builder said to call Whirlpool. They registered my oven and set an appointment.

Whirlpool slide in range, microwave, dishwasher, KitchenAid fridge: All appliances, stainless finish, were bought with my home in October 2006. Range - Within the first year, I had problems with the outer plastic pieces breaking, the motherboard and the oven and broiler not working. The screws holding the knobs on fell out several times. The oven door was fixed several times this past year until finally it fell off and broke for good and now the oven does not work at all. Microwave - The rotisserie motor stopped working this past year. Dishwasher - Just after the first year, the outer shell of the door came apart. KitchenAid fridge - Within the first year, the temperature adjuster broke. The second year, the ice maker stopped working. This year, the ice maker broke again and the motor quit working twice already and all has been repaired. The freezer handle has fallen off as well.

Although we live in Canada, we purchased our slide-in oven at Sears Roebuck in Buffalo, NY only because of the size availability only in the US (actually, the unit was manufactured in Canada as we found out later!). Obviously, this created another problem since the unit was not underwritten by Canadian Electric codes, Sears Canada repair would not touch it! Once installed, it worked great until the first problem with the oven quitting after self-cleaning. It is the second time in 3 years that both the thermostat and the sensor went in this RBS245 slide-in oven. Once the self-clean cycle completes (quite smelly!) and cools, the oven does not operate rendering the oven useless.

I've had a Whirlpool range for not even a year yet and the thing is on its third repair! First, the motherboard goes out twice. Then, a month after the second motherboard replacement, the broiler drawer handles melts off! ABT has been good at repairing it but seriously, I got the appliance last May! Now, I've been waiting two months for some insulation piece on the handle. I think this product is a lemon and I am highly disappointed in this brand. I had called Whirlpool regarding this and they said their technicians would have to inspect the product and repair it. I trust them less to repair the stove than ABT!

We purchased our oven from Sears, and less than two years later, the oven would not cook a chicken. We do not use the oven very often. We grill out and use the top burners often. We had the oven repaired through our home warranty program, and now 8 months later, it seems to be occurring again.

I recently had the bake sensor go bad on my Control Panel of our Whirlpool Gold AccuBake Oven with microwave. Not a problem correct? WRONG! While the Whirlpool people were very professional in helping me (a shout out to them), the part I received was the wrong color. It was white; they called it a biscuit color. My oven is black. I have no idea what Whirlpool actually calls that color. Anyway, in my visit with them, I was informed the black control panel has been discontinued. Am I the only person that has a black control panel? This $280.00 part is now going to cost approximately $3,000.00 to replace the entire unit. Is there anyone that can direct me to where I can find a black replacement control panel? Way to take care of your customers Whirlpool. Solve this and I will give you a great shout out.

I bought a range on 2/11/11. On 2/14/12, I cleaned the oven for the first time at high temperature and noticed burned grease marks which appeared at the inside of the glass in front of the oven. I called for service and the repairman took apart the door and cleaned it. He said it would probably happen again. There was a leakage somewhere and he couldn't repair it. I think it is a quality control problem at the manufacturing levels.

Burners always needed replacing and now do not work anymore - Whirlpool range looks nice, but very expensive to maintain. The burners constantly needed replacing, they do not heat up. I got a repair technician to look at it. He replaced the parts that the burners hook into. Now they do not heat up at all. Well, one of four barely boils water. The oven still works, oh great. The thing is only 7 years old. I have had ovens that lasted 20+ years at my dad's house or 15 years at another house I lived in. With all the negative comments and the repair guy who tried to fix it, I think it is time to get the kid's Easy-Bake Ovens out of the storage or buy a new range. Obviously, it will not be a Whirlpool. So many negative comments people left, my useless top burners seem mild comparatively.

We purchased the Whirlpool Gold Gas Range (model #GW399LXUQ06) in November 2011. Last week, I noticed the porcelain enamel finish on the stove top grates has fallen off in pieces. I contacted Whirlpool today, February 14, 2012, about this issue and they advised me it is a cosmetic problem which is not covered under the warranty. They advised me that it would cost over $100 per grate to replace. We have had this stove for less than three months and I feel these grates are defective and Whirlpool should be responsible for replacing them. I am very dissatisfied with this stove.

The burners were very crooked and the pans got burned out right away. They were covered under warranty but since then, they had the same problem with them with the new items. They had the light bulb stuck and couldn't get it out, they came under warranty and now a new light bulb won't work in it. The control top indicator light didn't work so I had that fixed under the warranty, but now it has the same problem and I can't afford to get it fixed and it could be a real safety issue.

Two years ago, I bought your new stove. It was under warranty. The computer is messed up. They came and they did not fix it. Warranty is off. It hasn't worked right since I got this stove. Who is going to make it right? It's only two years old. Fr2 v comes on when turn on. Oven have to turn power off to get it to work. This stove sucks.

I am so frustrated with my Whirlpool Gold Wall oven with Accubake system. It has been on for 12 hours in clean mode. The door is locked. My home is full of smoke and even though I turned off the breaker so no power would go to it, it is still locked and hot two hours later. This is the second time this has happened. Not only is it a fire hazard, my walls are hot to the touch. It is frustrating. There is no override of the clean mode. BTW, I was baking when the inside light switched on and off and the door locked down. I was nowhere near it and it was the second batch I was baking so I did not touch the clean button. It did it itself.

We bought a new Whirlpool gold gas stove. We had just finished redoing our complete kitchen, and thought it would be nice to replace appliances. I thought Whirlpool had a reputable name and good service record, but clearly, I should have checked. Three months after installing the stove, the handle pulled right off the door. We called the service tech who came in, took the door apart, and replaced the handle, but for some reason, installed different and incorrect screws for the door. Over the next 7 or 8 months, the handle pulled off twice more, and we repeated the cycle.

I cleaned my Whirlpool oven model RBS275PB6. The next time I tried to use it, the oven did not heat. The fan turned on and the display showed that it is pre-heating, but the oven did not get hot. This same exact thing happened to me in March 2010. The thermal cut-out (TCO) was replaced, and Sears charged me $200. There seems to be a problem with this, because I have seen many posts for the same issue.

Whirlpool built-in electric oven self-cleaning (model # GBS307PRS01) has a problem with self-cleaning. Every time you use the self-cleaning feature, the thermal fuse switch and thermostat burn up. This has happened on the two occasions when the self cleaning feature was used. The only thing that Whirlpool will tell you is that there is no recall on that model.

I would not give this any stars! I purchased a Whirlpool gas range (model #WFG371LVB1) just 2 years ago at Lowe’s. The oven heats up to 475 no matter what temperature it is set at. The Whirlpool authorized service agent said it needed a control board which would cost $650 to install. The repair company found one for less--only $300. After reading all of the other complaints about these ranges, we've decided not to repair it and will probably have to replace it soon. We have been Whirlpool customers for years and will not purchase another Whirlpool product. There should be a recall on any of their products that have these continual problems. The oven cannot be safely used for normal baking.

I have a Whirlpool stove. There's nothing but problems with the oven sensor. This is the 3rd time we have to replace it. It had problems ever since I bought and that's been 11 years ago. My Magic Chef lasted 13 years with no problems. I have a Whirlpool microwave that had a recall on it. Never buy Whirlpool!

I got an E1-F5 code so I called Whirlpool and even though this is the first time we have ever tried to use the self clean mode, the lock doesn't work. We bought our house new and it came with these appliances already installed. I've seen where others have had the same issues as I have, but Whirlpool claims they don't have any claims on file with this issue being a problem. Really?

I purchased the GBS309PVS single oven in Dec. '09 along with a Whirlpool Gold microwave, dishwasher, and stove top. The oven was dented and scratched, so another one was delivered on 1/10/10. I finally decided to use the cleaning cycle in Oct. 10. It burned out the circuit board and something else. It was under warranty and repaired. I was afraid to use it again, but tried it yesterday, 12/27/2011. It smelled horrible, knocked the power out of the oven, and the door will not unlock. Customer service was not very kind and said that I had to purchase a $269 warranty and they would send someone out. I did, unwillingly. We'll see what happens on Friday. If this is not resolved, I will go further. This is a faulty part of the manufacturing and should be handled as so.

Whirlpool built in Electric oven Self Cleaning Model # GBS307. Don't Clean your oven! Everytime you clean the oven, the thermal fuse switch will burn up on you and will cost approximately $150.00 to fix. Don't use the self cleaning on this oven!

I purchased Whirlpool gas range. After approximately 1 year, it has repeated problems with oven failing to maintain temperature. The unit would remain on, with the bake on still showing. But the temperature would decrease to the point of not cooking the food. If you turned the oven off and then back on, it would preheat again and resume baking, only to kick back off again later (again, with the bake still on).

In Nov 2004, I purchased whirlpool oven GW395LPQ-00 from Sears. Let me preface this by saying I "rarely" use the oven usually just the stove top. In July 2007 after baking in the oven for a couple of hours and cooking on the stove top the oven went out of control. The temperature rose and burned the food in the oven. Whirlpool dispatched a technician and said nothing was wrong. Dec 2007 during a dinner party the oven again went out of control, raised the temperature on it's own and burned the dinner. By this time I have used the oven maybe 25 times. Jan 2008 Whirlpool sent a technician to replace the circuit board. Dec 2011 Stove was on for 3 hrs at 375 - a batch of cookies in the oven for 6 minutes torched on fire, smoked up the house. I have had it with this stove!

If you have the double oven below with bad board, start shopping for a new oven, but the part is no longer made. How can you end of the life a product after only 6 years? This is about the RBD305PDS12 double oven! I have wasted 3.5 days with Whirlpool/Maytag. It's very Frustrating how each department passes you along and makes promises about what the other department can do, resulting in zero satisfaction. None of them are well informed to say the least.

Are there negative numbers for ratings? Horrible, to say the least. Whirlpool is the parent name for KitchenAid ovens. I have an electric oven and the glass on the front door exploded! What's worse is that I have been given the complete run-around! I have called, wrote, waited, and tried ordering through other companies--still no luck! How does Whirlpool get away with this? It seems that Whirlpool no longer makes the part!! Do they really expect consumers just to replace an oven every few years? Poorest customer satisfaction I have ever experienced! This should be a consumer fraud grand suit, as there are numerous complaints about the same issue with Whirlpool appliances! Stay away from this company by all means!

KitchenAid double oven glass exploded during the self-clean cycle. The oven was purchased on 9-20-11 and the glass exploded on 11-30-11 during the first-use of the self-cleaning cycle. The cavity was damaged with dents and shards of glass from the explosion. Unfortunately, the warranty for KitchenAid is replacement of parts and repair only. Nicole, supervisor at Whirlpool, offered to extend the warranty 6 months. Then I was somehow disconnected from the call.

The knobs on the Whirlpool gas stove model Super Capacity 465 AccuBake system are easily confusing and dangerous. If the knob is turned in the wrong direction when intending to turn the burner off, it turns to a very low setting which is although nice for simmering, it is very easy for it to be mistaken as the off position and leaves only the gas leaking if the smell is not noticed in time.

6 years ago, we bought the refrigerator, the oven and the dishwasher. They're all Whirlpool appliances. With that, we took the 5 years guarantee extension for all those appliances. After 6 months, the electronic front panel of the oven jammed. The repairman knew what was the problem and had to change this panel. Then a month before the expiration of the guarantee extension, the refrigerator never stop running. I have to call them 3 times before they place a service call at the right place, very strange. Now, the auto-clean on the oven doesn't work. The very known E1-F5 error on the display and no solutions that work. Whirlpool, never again and I will make the real publicity for this brand without a shame.

I have had my whirlpool oven for approximately 6 years. This will be the 3rd time I have had to replace the thermal fuse. For the last three times I have used the auto clean, it blows out the fuse. It has cost me $110.00 each time I called my appliance tech to replace the fuse.

While my oven was running the 3 hour self clean cycle, the glass on the inside of the door cracked. It was in the middle of the cycle so I tried to call whirlpool to see if I should hit cancel or if it would cool too quickly and make it worse or what to do. First person was young and stumbled with English in the service department. He couldn't answer my question, just schedule for me to pay for service to come out.

I purchased my Whirlpool gas range about 5 yrs ago as brand new. Two and a half years after purchase, I started getting the F2 error and always had to pull the breaker to stop the oven. Whirlpool would not do a thing, they wouldn't even listen to me. So I bought a new control panel. Now once again here it is the holidays and I've started getting the F2 error when I try to use the oven. So needless to say this is my last Whirlpool appliance. And the Service Officer won't even listen to me when I say I have to buy a new oven.

I purchased our brand new double ovens on 9/27/11. I was happy until 11/3/11 when the inside glass exploded, shooting shards of it all over our kitchen during the self-cleaning cycle. I immediately called Kitchen Aide's corporate office in Michigan. She said that she could send a technician out to access the damages but didn't see that this was a product issue. Like I don't know how to properly push buttons to self clean!

Purchased a Jenn-Air single wall oven model JJW2427WS after seeing it displayed in an appliance store. Oven was installed as directed. Upon viewing the panel, I discovered that it does not light up. You cannot read the function or numbers, never mind start and cancel without a flashlight. I have been a Jenn-Air customer for over 20 years. This is the first time I have been disappointed. Also, has this model been discontinued or recalled?

I bought an Accubake gas range. I had Whirlpool replace the top sheet metal as it was bowed, cheap & thin. A few days later, they replaced all the brass burner orifices and it all froze and would not turn off. I had to pull the range away from the wall and turn the gas off. The bottom door to the broiler is wide open and it will not close. The stop button for the oven also does not work. This company has been selling these lousy products based on their previous good reputation.

I used their website to schedule an appointment for an estimate for a repair on my oven. I was never told they were sending an independent contractor to do the repair nor that there would be a charge for the estimate. I contacted Whirlpool and was told there is nothing on their website and I should have asked the service technician before he was at my door if there would be a charge. Therefore, it was my fault and I indeed had to pay the charge when I declined to have my oven repaired. I paid an independent contractor hired by Whirlpool for $129 to give me an estimate on the repair to my oven despite never being told of such a charge prior to the appointment.

I purchased a total of four Whirlpool appliances in June of 2008. Almost thirteen months after the installation of all four appliances, I experienced a problem with the control panel on the Gas Range GW397LXUB, and a sensor control problem with the Microwave GH5184XPB5. Fortunately, Whirlpool agreed to repair the appliances at no charge because it was so close to the end of the warranty. The microwave was an easy fix and simply had to be unplugged, reset and plugged back in. However, the entire electronic control panel had to be replaced on the gas range. Several of the buttons simply stopped working and I was only able to bake at 350 degrees.

I purchased a GW399LXUS Whirlpool Gas Range. This is the slide in kind. I paid 1658.00 dollars for this stove, because it was a gas convection oven. We purchased it on 7/21/09. Just yesterday, the keypad numbers stopped working. I cannot even set a temperature for the oven. So now, I can only use the burners. I called Whirlpool today. They told me that my stove does not have any recalls so there is nothing they can do about it. I spoke with Jessica in Michigan. I told her how dissatisfied I was that the stove is only 2 years old and the most important part (the buttons) stopped working and they only cover this for one year. She told me that I have to remember that man made things are made to stop working at some time. I told her they should work for longer than 2 years. I remember way back when my parents bought a stove or fridge and they lasted for 15 to 20 years before breaking or stopping to work.

I bought a glass top stove model number W10221843A. My son dropped a plastic cup on the top of the stove. It put a hole and shattered it. Now remind you, it was plastic. I barely use this side of the stove, so not like it was weak. I paid a lot of money for this product just for a plastic cup to destroy it. Is there any recall on this stove? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

My Whirlpool Flat Top AccuBake Stove is a year old. I am down to one burner. Three of the four went out with minimal use.

I have Whirlpool gas range, model # WFG361LVS1. The igniter went out after only one and a half years of light use (4-5 times a week). I did not buy the extended warranty, so part is not covered. I only asked that they send me the part for free. I talked to a supervisor at Whirlpool (Dave). He said I should have bought the extended warranty. He said he could not help me. He was also very rude. I will never purchase another Whirlpool product.

I have a Whirlpool AccuBake gas range. I started by contacting my local repairman because my stove was out of warranty. The first company came out 3 times and replaced three parts, which didn't work. The cost was $297.00. I originally paid $598.00 for the stove. After they deemed it non-repairable, I contacted Whirlpool. They basically said it was my fault for not buying the warranty. I then contacted the BBB. Anne ** from Whirlpool contacted me and had another Whirlpool service tech come out at no charge to me. But guess what, they deemed it non-repairable too. It's a shame that companies no longer stand behind their product. It's very apparent that this is a manufacturer's defect. They should replace the stove.

I purchased my brand new gas stove at Lowe's in 29 Jun 10. Within the first month, my oven was giving me the error F-2. They came out and replaced the ERG board. Now, just after the warranty had expired, the same problem is happening. When I called them, they told me that I should have purchased the extended warranty. I can't use the oven because I have to unplug the stove every time to get it to stop beeping.

I purchased a gas range with JDR8895 last 09/06/2007 at Home Depot in Metro Denver for approximately $1700.00. I will make my final payment on my Home Depot account next month. I was preparing dinner last September 10, 2011. I had the pans on the cooktop, one on the right rear and one on the left front burners. This was the set up because the right front burner has stopped working some time ago. Both burners were on a low setting as I was simmering pasta sauce and just warming water as I was later going to boil it for the noodles. I was in my living room when I started to smell something odd. When I approached my kitchen, there was a fire coming from the rear of the cooktop and beneath the three burner knobs. It smelled like an electrical fire. I immediately turned off the burners with my hand wrapped in a towel and started putting out the fire by hitting it with the towel and blowing. The towel caught on fire. I grabbed my fire extinguisher and was ready to spray when finally, it looked like it burned out.

Our range emits smoke and a toxic odor spontaneously when not in use. We feel it could be a potential fire hazard. We have had repair people and fire department out. We have contacted the manufacturer numerous times and they do not return our calls.

We purchased a Whirlpool (gas) range with double oven, in April of this year. We found that the upper oven over heats, on the right side, and therefore burns or bakes unevenly.

I have an oven that is just under two years old - a Whirlpool. After less than a year, the sensor went out and had to be replaced. After less than one more year, the same thing has happened. They covered the first one, but won't help with labor or parts on this one. There is no user error. It's just a cheaply constructed oven.

I purchased a Whirlpool classic range model number rf263LXTS0 on January 2010. We had some hang-ups on the kitchen renovation and were not able to install the appliances until May of 2011.

I purchased an electric double oven range on 11/20/11, model # GGE388XS00 and serial # D02584385. Something is getting in between the glass on the bottom oven door and there's no way for me to clean it out. I feel it is an issue with the seals they have around the glass oven doors.

I wish to file a complaint regarding a Whirlpool flattop electric range that we purchased approximately eight years ago.

Bought Whirlpool electric range in Dec. 2005..expensive..so the warranty expired a few months ago. The electronic keypad that controls the oven and lights doesn't work. The repairs will be $408 plus tax which is obscene, and are guaranteed only for 90 days.This after only 5 years of minimal use...just me using it.

We own this range and in 6 years its 4 main boards and 3 touch pads were replaced. The electronics suck big time. We have nothing but trouble with this range from day one and out-of-pocket cost for service calls that were recommended by whirlpool. They were absolutely no help. Expensive piece of crap!

In the future I may not go back to whirlpool products. So, in this attempt to let you know my problem, please write back and tell me what I can do to fix the problem.

I purchased a brand-new, $4600 36" gas range online. They finally installed all appliances by 10:30 pm last Friday, July 8, 2011. On Saturday, July 9, 2011, I woke at 2 am to weird smell (gas). I opened all the windows and went back to bed not sure since we never had gas before. Gas company came out that day and determined that the burners were bypassing gas. Jenn-Air said it was normal for some gas to come out and that they have sent the repair technician out three times to not find any leaks. The gas company red-tagged the stove saying it was hazardous. Jenn-Air has terrible customer service. I was on the phone Monday to Friday this week, every day talking with safety managers to supervisors with no results. This will be the LAST Jenn-Air purchase EVER!

Two defective gas ranges stoves

The Whirlpool Range I purchased from Sears on 6/22/2010 was delivered on 7/3/2010. The last week of June 2011 I called because the timer on the range let go. The second batch of cookies I set the timer to 9 minutes noticed it jumped to 59:58 (59 hours and 58 minutes). It still is happening.

We purchased our Whirlpool ceramic top convection range about six years ago. I love it and it has been great but yesterday, my husband was watching TV and he noticed a sound coming from the stove that sounded like bacon frying.

I purchased a Whirlpool wall oven Model RBS275PVQ in August '09 for a summer home that is used only for 4-5 months of the year. After one cleaning of the oven, the thermostat blew and the oven would not heat. The recommended service company from Whirlpool was A&E. The serviceman informed me that the thermostat is a continual problem in burning out if the temperature gets too high. He showed me that the replacement thermostat was different from the one that came with the oven as they now have replaced them due to the problem. Whirlpool customer relations told me the oven is out of warranty and the bill for $195 to fix the unit is my expense. When I tried to call back to explain what the serviceman stated, I could not get Melanie, the contact, to return my phone call. Take my advice and do not buy a Whirlpool Appliance.

My Whirlpool model Rf388LX60 oven went into clean mode while baking brownies. By the time I was aware of it, the smoke was so bad I had to call the fire company... I still have the oven outside... If I did not smell smoke, I am sure my house would have burned down.

The Whirlpool built-in single oven model RBS305PDSB12 is a fire hazard! I was baking a pizza, at 425 degrees, for my grandkids and went to check its status with four minutes remaining. I realized the door was locked and the upper element was on, like it had gone into a self clean mode. The cancel control would not work. I had to turn circuit breaker off to prevent a fire. Pizza burned and smoke filled the house. I sent kids and dogs outside till danger passed. I stood with fire extinguisher for sometime.

This past Thanksgiving I was cooking dinner. I pulled out the oven rack to check the Sweet potato casserole I was baking. The rack slipped off from one corner. The casserole splattered all over my right foot burning it severely. Unfortunately I have no insurance and I had to suffer through this trying to doctor it myself. I still have deep purple scars from this. Still,every time I pull anything out I am horrified that something will slip off again. It looks like it is a defect and the racks are not wide enough.

I purchased a Whirlpool stove from this store in December 2009. Within one year of having the stove, I have had five repairs starting with the burners burning off and the oven not heating. I have called the company several times to replace the stove but they are saying that I have only had three repairs. Now, currently this year, I have had three repairs on the same issue and the company is still failing to replace my stove. When cooking on the stove, you can smell the wires burning. I am afraid that soon, my home will burn down due to this stove.

I purchased a Whirlpool double electric built oven about 7-8 years ago - infrequently used - electronic control panel stopped working. The Whirlpool repairman stated that (a) parts are no longer manufactured, (b) rebuilt electronic control panel will not carry warranty, and (c) cost to repair is $583.00 in addition to the $85.00 service call charge already paid. The code problem (F2-E6) reported as the error code apparently is a common malfunction, suggesting manufacturing defect. I suspect the part is not being manufactured at this time to force people to buy a new appliance rather than have Whirlpool accept responsibility for defective electronics to begin with and replace them under the extended warranty program. Internet documents many complaints about this specific code, which indicates that the electronic control panel is broken. Our oven has less than 200 hours of use on it in 7 years and should not have suffered an electronics failure.

I own a Whirlpool model RF263LXTS Bisque Electric Range. I find that it is hazardous to use the stove top because there are no indicator lights on each individual burner knob to show which burner is on. As a result, I have experienced some accidents that could have been prevented if there were lights to show which burner was on.

I bought a new Whirlpool Super Capacity 465 range about eight years ago. It's a piece of **. The top was bowed so they had to replace it. The burners would not turn off and there's the faulty lubricant which froze when hot--they were both replaced. The bottom broiler door won't close, creating a big gap. The fire ignition failed and they had it replaced. Now, the range will not turn off when you press the digital button. I am starting to get a little pissed. This has been stressful for me because our food are getting burned.

I purchased 4 new appliances for our kitchen 28 months ago. In that time, the stove has stopped working twice requiring service and the fridge stopped working, again needing service. Now, the stove top and oven are not working again. I have had to pay for a service call and for parts on the fridge. Now, it looks like I have to pay again for the stove repair. This is their top of the line electric range, model GR773LXSS.

I have a Whirlpool electric range that when the burners are turned on, they snap, crackle and sound like they are getting on fire. They continue to change the switches but after a while, they do the same thing! My stove has been replaced once, after having the switches changed 3 times. It was replaced in March 2010. It is now having the switches replaced for the same reason. Is anyone else experiencing this same issue? Please email me if you are!

Whirlpool range is less than 3 years old. First time I used the self-clean option, I received an error message and the oven would not unlock. I had a service man come to repair and stated that the latch is faulty. The cost to replace is $225. I am a single mother out of work and do not have the money to pay for this. The oven will not work without the repair.

I have bought in July 2009 a Whirlpool slide-in gas range. In less than 1 year of seldom use, the nice satin finish grate has peeled and is rusty. I called Whirlpool Canada and their answer was that it's a cosmetic issue and is not covered under any warranty. The range wasn't cheap and the grates shouldn't have been of such a poor quality. After one year, the grates look way worse than the grates of my 5 years old barbecue.

I bought a Whirlpool self-cleaning oven. I used the self-cleaning once and it did not do a good job. I went to use it another time and it did not work. Because it is 45 days since I purchased it, I have to have it repaired, but I don't want it. I will never buy Whirlpool again. A new item should not need repairing.

Circuit board on double oven shorted out. Extensive internet research and contact with authorized repair centers revealed that this problem is widespread and the subject of many complaints by double oven owners. Whirlpool has been less than helpful in offering a resolution to this issue. The shorted circuit boards present a potential risk of fire to the home owner. Due to the number of complaints and the length of time this issue has been addressed, it appears that these circuit boards have a manufacturer defect and are not shorting out due to normal wear and tear.

I purchased an electric range in January, 2006. It has a double glass door. Grease gets in between the double glass and can not be cleaned by the automatic oven cleaner. I called the company to ask how to clean. I was referred to the seller who will charge $75 per visit plus extra for time spent cleaning the inside of the glass. When I mentioned this sounded like a manufacturing defect, I was told there is nothing Whirlpool will do about this. I asked to speak to a higher up at Whirlpool and was refused. This is a defect in the design. She informed me if I open the door to clean it, my warranty will be voided.

I purchased a Whirlpool Propane Gas Range 06/11/1999. The past two years the range will turn itself on after a power failure, the burners will not light, and after the next power failure, it "rights" itself until the next time. I have had the Whirlpool authorized repair center out to "fix the problem." The power outage had fried the electronic ignition on the oven and the burners would not light. I was told I could keep "throwing my money away" but he has the same problem with his range. On Oct. 21, 2010, I left my home at 12:00 pm and returned at 2:30 pm to smoke detectors going off, the house filled with smoke and smoke pouring out of the vents on top of the stove. I had an oven fire. My home could have burnt down. There are many complaints to Whirlpool regarding this issue with no resolution to the consumer. I live in a rural area and small power surges ( power out for a minute or two) are common. I am afraid to use my oven, and fear a fire in my home.

I own a double wall oven that is 7 years old. Two years ago I had to pay $838.59 to replace two pieces of electronics that did not work. This year it started malfunctioning again. I called in an authorized service repair and they could not diagnose because oven would start working and then quit in a few days. Whirlpool has only offered to sell me parts again for half price. This oven has a serious defect in the wiring that is causing it to burn out electronics, and they tell me it is 6 years out of warranty. I am wondering, when the house burns down, what will they think?

I have a Whirlpool electric range (model # RF367LXSB0) which I bought with my house in 2006. The house and stove were brand new. Today October 13, 2010, I used the broiler for the first time. The broiler element started sparking and looked like the stove was going to catch fire. I turned off the stove. The element is burned up.

Three years ago, we purchased the Whirlpool kitchen package (microwave, fridge, oven/stove from Lowes. Six months ago my whirlpool oven broke. I had a repairman out who quoted $500 to replace the igniters. This oven was probably used once a month if that and now won't work. Whirlpool advised they will not cover repairs on it. Don't buy whirlpool gas stove/ovens!

The gas range never worked right. When we preheated it, we would smell gas. I wanted to write a letter to Whirlpool expressing my displeasure but see by all the other complaints that Whirlpool doesn't give a rats **.

I purchased several Whirlpool appliances (dishwasher, electric cooktop and electric oven) as part of a kitchen remodel two years ago. The dishwasher and cooktop have given us no problems to date, but the oven... where to begin. One week after it was installed, the time that had been set started flashing and we (my wife and I) couldn't get it to reset using the controls on the front panel. Several calls to the company and two weeks later, a representative of A&E Factory service was at our door to perform warranty covered service. Turns out the enter button was broken and needed to be replaced. A&E ordered it and a week later it was replaced. Total downtime 3 weeks. Needless to say, our three young children were none too happy with our limited dinner offering courtesy of the down oven.

After purchasing, we ran through the operating instructions about burning of the oven and broiler. We noticed that the sides of the oven got very hot. We called the place we bought it, and since we didn't have them deliver, they would not help us. So we called the manufacturer. They sent out a service rep two days later. After checking the stove for proper insulation, he called someone about the stove. It was at this time we were told UL allows manufacturers to assemble the stove with the outside temperature reaching 160 degrees. I find this unacceptable. A child could and probably will get burned not to mention the possibility of a house fire. We are in the process of finding another stove that does not get this hot and you can bet it probably won't be a whirlpool.

Electric range broiler element came on while baking and cannot be turned off with the off button on the oven. Can only be tuned off when power is turned off to the unit. Unit cannot be turned off by normal method. Hazard of overheating or fire.

A year and half ago, I purchased 5 appliances for my new house and apartment. I purchased some "lower end" models for the apartment that I was putting in, but I got "the best" for my own house. I purchased a Whirlpool range and fridge - costing me over $3000.00. I even got extended warranty. About 4 months into my purchase, I went back to the store to complain about my stove top. It was turned and all the finish was turned. It looked like it was 10 years old. They gave me a number to call.

I was visiting my parents and cooking dinner when the oven's self-clean function activated and the door locked. We didn't realize it until we started smelling smoke and then discovered that we couldn't turn it off, even after following all the steps listed in the owner's manual. Our only option was to shut off the circuit breaker. The heat was so intense that we had to clear out the cupboards above the oven for fear the items there would burn, melt or explode. The next morning, we turned the circuit on again and found that the display worked but the oven never heated up. Whirlpool's customer service rep said, "I'm tired of the thousands of calls I get from people who use the self-clean function and afterwards their oven doesn't work. If you buy an oven, you should expect it to work."

We have a Whirlpool Accubake, sometimes as we lean over the stove, we brush the control knobs and the stove will turn on (light). This has happened four times before. The last time this happened, there was a plastic bag near the burner and it caught fire.

I wrote you about this oven. This morning, they replaced the thermostat and then wanted me to self-clean it again. Now it won't work again, so I called Whirlpool and wanted to replace it and it would cost me $1,070 extra. I told them that was not acceptable. I paid over $3,000 for the one I have. Now, I have to stay home again tomorrow so they can replace the same part again. To keep in warranty, I have to replace the part every ninety days if I want to self-clean my oven.

I have a Whirlpool built-in oven model number GS GBS307PRS00. It won't heat after self-cleaning. There has been problem with this oven doing this. This is the third time. Every time, it's $188 to fix it to replace the T.O.D. thermostat. There is nothing to fix this problem. This should be recalled. I have no oven. This was a three thousand dollar oven they need to fix this for free or replace. I hardly use it and when the techs came out, they said it looked new. I have cleaned it three times and this keeps happening. Please help. I find all kinds of complaints on this same problem.

Whirlpool (model # RF368LXMS) is 6 years old. $1200.00 to replace stove with gas stove.

We purchased a Whirlpool gas range (WFG114SVQ) on 7/3/10 at Lowe's. They delivered it the next day. We had the gas company come down and connect the gas line during the following week, but we weren't here at the time. We were on vacation. The following week when I finally started to use it, I thought the range top got really hot. But I didn't question it, until just last week when I had to bake some pies. Whenever I went to take the pies out, I couldn't believe how hot the front of the oven got. I couldn't even open the oven without an oven mitt. I couldn't touch the handle at all, the same with the sides and the top of the range. Good thing our young grandchildren were not here that day because surely they could have gotten burnt. Even when I'm only using the range top, the whole appliance gets dangerously hot.

I bought this electric stove model RF111PXSQ2 Ser. RWO611784. It has only been about four years and the switch part #9762215 controls the oven. It is a ridiculous price item of $150.00 for a stove I paid for 250 dollars new. I recommend that people watch out for cheap stoves made with thermostat control like this. Buy with simple control only.

I built a new home in fall of 2005 and HAD to choose appliances from the builder's showroom which featured Whirlpool. I selected a double gold Accubake oven, model #GBD307PDB10 (black). In early March 2010 (less than 4 1/2 years old), I had problems with an error code of E6- F2. I found a website called Appliancepartspros.com and the volunteer experts helped diagnose the problem. However, it started working again. Then in May 2010 it did the same thing, only this time the display did NOT flash an error code but went blank. After flipping the circuit breaker and waiting 2 days, it came on with a code of PF (power failure), which reset when I hit the oven button. I knew it would be a matter of time and I would lose it completely.

My Accubake range keeps turning on the broiler while in bake mode. It burns everything up. I had the electronic oven control panel replaced under warranty 7 months ago. It is doing it again. I called Whirlpool and they said it wouldn't be covered even though it has had this problem previously. I am having to turn the breaker off. I will never buy anything Whirlpool again.

Our Whirlpool oven model GBS307PDQ11 automatically changed from bake mode to self-cleaning mode, locked the oven door and burnt the item being backed. We were able to stop the oven, cool it down and recover from further damage.

I contacted them about my electric stove. It is warped and the pans will not sit on the burners without sliding to the middle of the stove. They told me I would have to call a repair man to see if it could be fixed at my expense. This stove is only two years old and we don't feel it should be our responsibility to fix this problem. Obviously, it is a defect in the workmanship and materials it is made of. The top is very thin and we feel like the heat from the self cleaning of the oven has warped it. I can't cook on its top even without holding the pans.

We purchased a Whirlpool gas range (WFG361LVQ). The eyes or spiders that fit over the burners are a gray, very slippery material. The design is terrible. I cannot place a 10" or 12" iron skillet on the burners evenly. I have to physically hold on to the handle of any pot, pan or skillet when stirring to prevent the vessel from flying off the range altogether. This is a dangerous situation. I am not happy at all with this product. I have waited a long time to be able to purchase a new range and this is very disappointing. Do you have any alternative eyes to offer for this range? Cast iron, plain black, would be preferable to these. Please contact me as soon as possible regarding this matter.

We bought a Whirlpool slide in electric 30 inch range with the smooth glass top. We bought it on sale five years ago.Recently, while chicken was in the oven on bake, I could not open the oven door. No matter what I did, the door would not open. It was a weekend and I found a site online where I could e-mail a question to a tech. His answer was to cancel the bake cycle, put the oven on the clean cycle, let it run a few minutes and cancel it and the door would open. When I got the door open, the chick was practically burned to a crisp. This has happened four other times. The last time was the broiler. It seems that the oven or broiler goes into the clean mode on its own. I feel this is a fire hazard. I am going to replace the stove but feel Whirlpool should look into the matter and possibly compensate me some towards a new stove. Thank you for your assistance.

We purchased this home 6 months ago. The previous owners had renewed the kitchen approximately 3 years earlier. All Whirlpool (refrigerator, built-in oven and dishwasher). The built-in oven self-cleaning had to be repaired because of the way the oven operates and overheats (they say it isn't a design flaw), but I beg to differ because it has been "fixed" but we can no longer use the self-clean portion. I called and complained and ultimately was repaid by Whirlpool for the cost of the repair.

I bought my mom a glass top range from Whirlpool through Lowe's. She was cooking and set a cover on the other side of the stove and the glass top exploded (luckily underneath the cover) in perfect half circle shaped just like the cover shattering the top. It is about one and a half years old so it is not under warranty.
