Whirlpool Ranges & Ovens Reviews

I purchased range #WFE361LVSO on 10/1/09. It did not keep the correct oven temperature. I ordered service call. They came out on 10/31 and had to order parts. The parts finally came on Nov 10. Service was supposed to be here between 8-12. They showed up at 6 p.m. (I took a day off for nothing). They replaced the temperature sensor and computer panel. This seemed to work for a little while. On December 20th, the problem reared its ugly head again. I called Whirlpool (Nicole). She agreed that the unit should be replaced.

I bought a Whirlpool electric double wall oven. One of the reasons I bought it was that both ovens had a self-cleaning cycle. Every single time I use the self-cleaning cycle, something breaks. If I clean the top oven, the heat would melt the circuitry in the control panel on top of the oven and render it inoperable. I would have to have a service call. So, I stopped running the self-clean and did it the old-fashioned way. The last service tech we had said that the oven should never be self-cleaned as the heat always caused problems. I wrote to Whirlpool several times (to the attention of the President by name) and got no response. The last straw was this week when I ran the self-clean on the bottom oven. I thought that the distance between the bottom oven and control panel would save the control panel and it did. However, it ruined the heating element and now that oven will not heat up. A service tech told us that it would be expensive and be a two-person job as the oven would have to be pulled out of the wall to be repaired. We have decided to replace the unit but I wanted others to know that this product has bad design and that Whirlpool has no interest in standing behind its products. We will be looking at GE, Bosch or Electrolux.

Whirlpool Built-in Oven Model GBS307 27" burns "Oven Shutdown Thermal Fuse" during every self-cleaning cycle. Have spent $800 since 2003 for repairs.

I purchased a standalone Whirlpool Oven 5 years ago. Every time I use the self cleaner on the oven - it blows a $35.00 fuse. I asked a reputable appliance repairman in our area and he knew what I was talking about. He said it was a bad design. The fuse in question (that runs the oven) is too close to the wall of the oven and when the self-cleaning mode is on...it gets too hot and blows the fuse. He suggested I contact the Whirlpool. They said, “Sorry...no recalls...out of warranty...good luck!” I can't afford a $35.00 fuse every time I clean the oven. Come on Whirlpool...accept the bad design and fix our ovens!!!!!

We've had our Whirlpool model for over 5 years. We are having problems with condensation shutting down the oven while cooking. It eventually comes back on, but it is getting really annoying. We've had a repairman put more insulation, but we still have the problem. It is a WLP83800 model. Digital timer and glass top.

For the last 5 years I have had to deal with my Whirlpool oven. My oven has burnt up a part every time I have used the self-cleaning oven part. I am sick of having to spend money on the same part when I want to clean my oven. Money and time during the holidays to get it fixed.

I just want to report that whoever designed the grates for the Whirlpool gas cooktops never used one in their life. The sauce pans and the pots rock from side to side because the grates are not flat. They are higher right over the center of the burner. I called and the tech arrived the next day. He could not believe it and we agreed that this was not safe for hot liquids in pots or pans. He called it in and they sent me another set of grates. They were the very same way. A few days later, we were visiting some friends who just built a new home and used the top line gas cooktop by Whirlpool. Guess what? The grates were not level and had the same problem as mine. Whirlpool is not interested in hearing anymore about it. I just wanted to let people know, if you are thinking about buying a Whirlpool gas cooktop, take your pots and pans to the store with you to make sure they sit level and flat on the one you are buying.

Whirlpool control panel went out on my $3000 double over 3 times at a repair cost of $400 a pop. You should see all of the others with the similar complaint. Part # 8302967. $1200 repair bills.

I cleaned by brand new Whirlpool oven for the first time and the glass door became permanently stained with grease. This is a defect in this model #gfe461lvs0. Whirlpool said that this does occur and because it is cosmetic and not a functional defect they would not take it back. They sent someone to replace the glass. They told me to use a store product rather than use the self cleaning device to prevent this from occurring again. This is crazy. They are also sending me $75 and extending the warranty for a year BUT ONLY ON A FUNCTIONING DEFECT, NOT ON THIS PROBLEM OF THE DOOR BECOMING FILTHY PERMANENTLY. Consequence: A brand new oven that looks 15 years old and dirty.

Our Whirlpool gas range keeps turning itself on without a person realizing that it has happened. The knobs are on the front of the unit and if your body passes it by, it can turn on the gas without knowing. We came home from being out the other day and smelt gas in the house. It was caused from the Whirlpool Gold Gas Range leaking gas after one of the knobs had been accidentally brushed past it. Knobs should either be put on top of the range or a safety device designed to prevent this accident from happening.Luckily, we got the gas turned off in time to avoid a disaster.

My problem is that every time that I use my stove, the knobs in front of the stove move when I'm not even aware. When I start to smell gas is when I noticed that I must have gotten too close to the knobs and turn them on with my body. If I were to ever design a stove, I would put the knobs right on top of the stove itself and nobody can get hurt this way. Even a child is able to turn on the stove. This is very dangerous. I am sure you had other customers complaining about this. If not, then I think it's a good idea to have a different design in the future for the safety of your customers. It is very annoying every time this happens to me or someone else in my family.

My experience tonight with my Whirlpool gas range prompted me to write to tell you that I think the Whirlpool makes the worst appliances. I built a new home 3 years ago and had a Whirlpool gas range and dishwasher. Right from the beginning, my stove didn't work right - the ignitor for the oven was defective and wouldn't turn on when I was ready to bake or cook and had to be replaced by a local firm. The part he got from Whirlpool did not fix the problem. He got another part - still not resolved. Finally after many phone calls and complaints to Whirlpool, they finally came and fixed it again about 6 months ago. All was ok until tonight when I was trying to bake Christmas cookies. The oven wouldn't go on again! Apparently, the part they replaced has bitten the dust. Whirlpool has all my complaints and service calls. I dislike their customer service so much; I don't even want to call them again.

I'm in tune w/ all the other complainers of the KitchenAid ovens. We've had our Superba Double Oven for about 9 years and had replaced 4 thermostats, 2 fans, 1 glass and a lot of therapy that I consider priceless! Seriously though, Whirlpool doesn't care they read their answers to the appropriate questions off of their manuals. I'm tired of throw away appls. and the only one year warranty's. Our oven broke 2 x's in warranty in the self-cleaning mode. They don't care. We're done w/ anything made by Whirlpool!!

I just bought a Whirlpool stove in July of this year. When making Thanksgiving dinner, I put a 20 pound turkey in the oven. This amount of weight was too much for the oven rack and the rack bowed, causing the turkey and rack to fall to bottom of oven. I tried to grab the turkey and boiling liquid splashed out of the pan and onto my arm. I have been making turkeys of this size for years and never has an oven rack not supported it or pulled out of the side tracks like that. I believe you should look into the quality of racks in your new stoves. I have a burn on my arm that could have resulted in something much worst had the whole pan turned over. The burn on my wrist is about 4 inches round.

I own Whirlpool Gold Accubake Double Ovens Model # GBD307PDQ1. Three times the ovens have gone into self clean mode, shorted out, and fried the computer module. The repairs are costly. It is my understanding from the repairman and after researching problems with this model that there are an astounding number of consumers who have had this exact problem with this and similar Accubake models. Whirlpool should recall and replace this model and compensate me for my repair expenses. Repair expenses on 9/27/08 $641.08 to replace microcomputer and thermal fuse. Repair expense on 11/25/06 $100. Current repair expenses will be determined ASAP.

Have a Whirlpool built-in electric oven. Have replaced the oven sensor 3 times. The sensor in the oven evidently gets overheated and burns out when you use the self-cleaning mode. I will not purchase another Whirlpool appliance EVER AGAIN. At $40 per fix, it has become quite costly to maintain. From reading the reports on just this website, there should have been a recall on this product. Where is the CPSC on this matter? The key is not to use the self-cleaning mode (of course, it took us $120 to figure this one out). Why have a self-cleaning oven if you can't use it?

I purchased a Whirlpool Accubake (Model RBS275PDB6) wall oven in July 1999. To date, I have replaced the thermocouple/sensor 5 times. The first time, the store (where the oven was purchased) came and added some insulation to the wall oven and replaced the fan; but the problem persisted. The culprit seems to be the self-cleaning cycle. Each failure has occurred after using the self-cleaning cycle. The next time you attempt to use the oven, the elements (baking or broiling) refuse to heat. I will never buy another Whirlpool product or any product of a Whirlpool subsidiary again.

Electronic oven control became erratic after 6 months' use. Now (after less than 1 year's use), it's not working at all. I see this is a frequent problem on Whirlpool ovens. Product number GW395LEPS00. Fancy schmancy looking thing. All style, no substance, alas. Emotional suffering for my daughter, who had croissants ready to bake and no way to turn on the oven. Sigh. Thank you for this website. Bless you, my children.

Double wall oven Model RBD245PDS12’s digital control board went out. I was told to turn off the power so that I would not have a fire. Many complaints online about the same problem. I was told that there was no recall. No ovens for 4 weeks. It will cost approximately $800 to repair.

I purchased this house after my husband died in October 2004. The house was new and on the market since 2003. Last month, the lower part of the built-in Whirlpool Gold double oven no longer heated up. So, I used just the top part of the oven until yesterday, when the top control panel issued error codes E6 (red LED) and F2 (blue LED). I checked the fuse in the master fuse box and the oven fuse is not thrown and the lights in the oven still work. I've been on the phone from 9:00 to 10:15 this morning (mainly on hold) trying to report the problem to Whirlpool.

Whirlpool gas range’s control panel/computer is junk! The problem is that if you use the self-cleaning button, the oven then throws a fit. The control panel will stop working and you will have to go and order another one from the company at over $200.00. There should be a major recall on this oven as many people have had this problem as well. The only thing I can say is that I will not fix this. There will be another oven here for less money and I know that it will not be built by Whirlpool. The consequence: $1,000.

In 2002, I purchased a Whirlpool Gold range from Sears Canada. After about 1 year of operation, the stove timer displayed an error message indicating the timer had failed - of course, the 1 year warranty was expired. The local dealer for Whirlpool replaced the timer at a cost of $300.00. A month later, the timer failed again and was replaced by the local dealer at no cost to me.

Our Whirlpool gas range (model number SF114PXSQ0) began beeping and displaying an "F5" error code for no apparent reason. When the panel is reset, the error code returns within 5 minutes. This range is only 2 or 3 years old and it has been used less than 20 times. Behind the control panel, on the back side of the printed circuit board, I noticed that the connecting pins of the processor are covered with corrosion.

We purchased a Whirlpool oven in 2006. This year, the gas valve went out, making the oven useless. We had it fixed to the tune of about $190, however, a 3 year old product should not go bad! $190 plus a month without an oven.

I purchased a Maytag gas range, approximately 6 years ago. A few months ago, I began smelling gas, whenever the high output burner was lit. I smelled it a few times, and I stopped using that burner. I used the other 3 burners. After a few months of not using that burner, I decided to try it. I lit it and tried to boil water on it. I went to the bathroom and back in about 5 minutes. My house reeks of gas. I immediately turned the stove off, and opened all the windows, to air out the house, and get rid of the smell. I tried another, and I saw flames coming from under the seal of one of the burners. I immediately turned that one off.

We bought a Whirlpool gas range 3 years ago. Now, the oven will not light. The rep at Whirlpool was of no use. My email to the company came back with a 50% discount on the part after I paid a service call. Then, I still have to pay for labor. I am ready to contact my Attorney General about the company.

We purchased a Whirlpool Gold electric range Model GFE461LVQ0 in Dec. 2008. It is certainly a poor design with 2 large front burners and small ones that are difficult to reach when having big kettles on to cook. We started with having problems with the way it baked and the fact that you couldn't push in the timer to get more than seconds at a time.The first repairman broke the timer loose and said that I should expect a longer heating time and to allow about 10 minutes after the temperature showed the temp to be where I had set it.

The oven door locked with food cooking inside. I had to shut off the breaker to get it to go off or it would have burnt down our house. Whirlpool sent a local repairman (Deegan's Appliance) to repair twice now to no effect. They stated parts to repair were backordered for two months now. Consequences: Danger of oven fire burning the house down; no oven for Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter.

I purchased Whirlpool smooth top range. After set up, we went out of town for a week. Upon returning, we ate out a couple days then we cooked on range. When cleaning the surface, we found a deep scratch on the cooktop. We called Lowe's about the scratch and were told to contact Whirlpool, which we did. We waited two weeks for them to make service call. Service person then told us to contact Lowe's about the problem. Area manager told us if we would have brought it back the first day, they would have replaced it. Please note that we followed everything they told us to do and now after seven weeks, they refuse to repair or replace.

I filed a complaint about my gas range leaking carbon monoxide into my house. After it was repaired (we will not go into that experience), it still leaked carbon monoxide. I contacted Whirlpool and they immediately decided to just replace the entire stove due to safety issues. I feel better knowing I will have a safe working stove. I hope.

We purchased brand new Whirlpool appliances (refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and range) in June of 2006, to be delivered in July as we are purchasing a house. I think we spent in the range of $5,000.00 for all of them. The range/oven is a 30 inch slide in gas range model #GW395LEPS02 and had a one year manufacturer's warranty. The oven overheated, burning the food that was cooking in the oven and causing the house to be filled with smoke. I had a repairman come out to correct the problem. The oven worked again for a little over a year after that and now (out of warranty) the oven will not light.

I have had a Whirlpool Accubake Super Capacity 465 gas range since 2002. It came with the house we bought. It has lost power 2 years ago and we fixed it. Now, it needs a new control panel. I was reading this website and was amazed at how many people are having the same problem.

Our 4-month-old gas range leaked carbon monoxide poisoning into our house. The fire department said it could have killed our entire family if we did not have detectors throughout our house. Whirlpool is fixing it for free because it’s still under manufacturer warranty. They think it’s the heating element and a valve. We have had the parts delivered and was told that they could not accommodate us and help get service sooner to accommodate our schedule. So we have to wait 12 days to have it repaired due to our work schedules and hope this doesn’t happen again. The entire stove should’ve been replaced or us given a refund so we could buy a stove that wouldn’t possibly kill us.

Whirlpool called us today and as a goodwill gesture, they will send us the parts to fix our oven. Since the parts retail for just under $200, it will probably be a $75 write-off for them (will the parts they send me be defective also?). Anyway, we would have to pay the service call/repair charges which are estimated to be about $200. So, now I would have about $750 in a stove that should have had a recall on the defective parts in the beginning. When my husband said we have finally ordered a new stove since we did not hear from them and asked if they would just send us a check for the parts, so we could apply that money to the new stove (I know that was ridiculous but what did we have to lose at this point?!), he was told if we had purchased a Whirlpool or Maytag that they might have been able to do something for us. Let me see ... There are problems with the brand so we buy another one of the same brand? Anyway, I said I would update if I heard from them, so this is the update.

I guess I should feel fortunate with my Whirlpool AccuBake System double oven. I have had it for over 9 years, and only this week have I had the 1st problem - but it is the same problem that everyone else seems to be experiencing, i.e. after cleaning the top portion, the oven has lost all its power and I cannot unlock the door. I'm waiting for the repairman now - we shall see!

Two nights ago, our Whirlpool built-in oven was on the bake cycle and had been on for about 30 minutes when suddenly the top element came on and the oven would not shut off. We weren't even using the broiler element and we have never used the self-cleaning feature. My husband was able to get the food out, but when he closed the door, it locked and the element was still on and would not shut off. We had to go outside and down to the cellar to turn off the breaker to shut it off. By that time, the entire wall around the oven was hot to the touch and the odor of melted plastic was overwhelming. It took three hours for the oven and wall around it to cool off. We tried to turn it on again later but an error message came up and the top element came on, and the door was still locked.

Whirlpool glass top stove purchased 7/23/04 has been repaired eight times. Three times the control panel has gone out so the stove does not work. Four times the glass top has severely burnt due to excess heat in the coils. It is obviously a lemon. Whirlpool says get it fixed or buy a new one. We have been retired for six years and do not cook that often.

I purchased a Whirlpool Slide In electric range in Oct. of 2005. (Model#GY398LXPB00) It cost $1268. Jan. 4, 2007, the oven would not work. Of course the range was out of warranty so I contacted a repair service. It cost $250 to replace the touch pad. On Dec. 31, 2008, the touch pad once again is not working and needs to be replaced. After reading other people's problems with the faulty touch pad, I guess I consider myself lucky that my touch pad lasted almost a year. Repeated attempts to try and get Whirlpool to admit a design flaw and cover the cost of the repair failed. They take no responsibility for the problem with the range. I, too, will never again purchase a Whirlpool appliance and will caution my friends and family not to purchase a Whirlpool appliance.

I bought a Whirlpool gas oven/range (2004) model SF369 & had tech here 3 times for different igniting problems. Main problem is intermittent igniting; Gas just pours out & no flame. I've called Whirlpool at least 6 times. It is so discouraging preparing family dinners & the oven won't light! Another problem I had is the oven would just turn off in the middle of baking something. The newest issue is the oven won't relight after it is warm. The tech was just here in October 08. The tech contacted Whirlpool & they can't guarantee what is wrong but want me to buy replacement parts that cost $300 plus the cost of labor. Parts include Igniter, DSI Board & Clock assembly due to flickering. The oven is still fairly new. One would expect it to last at least 5 years. I've already spent over $200 in service calls on a new oven. There has been ongoing problems since I bought it. Whirlpool CS only offered 20% off a new oven or 50% off parts - non refundable even though they can't guarantee the problem. I recently sent a letter to the CEO requesting replacement oven or replacement parts free of charge & labor. I am scared to use the oven, gas fumes pour out!

Built-in Whirlpool oven, Model #RBS275, Serial #XP3105178 Installed 11-7-03 Cost $859.72 inc. tax. Basic oven, self-cleaning feature. Self-cleaned approx 4x in first year and a half. Self-cleaning is automatically set at 3 hrs. 30 min., but can be lowered to 2 hrs. 30 min. or raised to 4 hrs. 30 min. Oven was self-cleaned 12-20-04 - set time 3 hrs. 30 min. Wouldn't heat Xmas Eve 12-24-04. Called electrician and wiring was fine. Appliance repairman came. Diagnosis: it had overheated during cleaning and needed new magnetron (thermofuse). New one found in back of oven, it was repaired 1-2-05 so only labor and service charge, $79.

Purchased a Whirlpool Gold Accubake gas range. After a few weeks the oven would not light. Repair replaced control panel. Then the oven began to overheat and would not shut off. I had to pull unit out to reach gas valve. I called Whirlpool and complained this was a fire hazard and they agreed to replace the range with a new one.

I had purchased a Whirlpool Oven and Microwave/Hood combo when I purchased our home. The original cooking equipment was bad, and we purchased this equipment as soon as we moved in. This was in 2005, February. Since then the oven control had broke twice. Once the company had covered the parts and labor, but with in 10 months it failed. Then the part was not covered under warranty. I had to pay $150 with shipping and tax to fix it.

I baught a Whirlpool gas range model no.GS563LXSB in August of 2006. After about four months of use the range started locking out for no reason even when it was not being used. I finally got Whirlpool to replace the main control board as the warranty was still in effect. It worked fine for about 6 months and then it started locking out again. When you bake something the oven shuts down without notice and if you're not watching it you don't know how long it's been off.

We purchased our cook top stove in Feb 2005 and have had nothing but problems with it since we purchased it. The very first time I ran my self cleaning oven, the ceramic cook top cracked, [they] replaced it, I didn't use my self cleaning oven again for 2 years because I was afraid it would crack again, but I had no choice when my daughter spilled something in the bottom of the oven, but it didn't crack I was so happy, but 2 days later when I used my oven to bake a pie crusts, I check on the crust by opening the door and when I closed it lightly, there was pop and the top had cracked again.

I bought Whirlpool gas range model #SF262LXSW in early Nov. of 2006. Since then, it has needed 3 repairs. I never needed one repair on my old 25 year old range.

I purchased all new whirlpool appliances through Lowes, for a kitchen remodel. I had the appliances delivered approx. 1 month after purchase, as I felt this is when we would be ready for install. It actually took 2 months for install. When we put the appliances into place we noticed the front of the stove had a metal strip at the bottom that was made wrong, and protruded. We took pictures and showed Lowes, who gave us the phone # for whirlpool to call.

I have a Whirpool smooth cooktop and oven. One day as it was preheating the oven door self-locked. Nothing would make it open. Repairman cost and replacement part almost $400 for what is a barely used appliance.... but older than the one year warranty - the company expected length of appliance life apparently.

I bought a Combination Microwave/Hood Model MH3184XPS-3 in April of 2006. Since then, the grill has popped off twice. The plastic has broken around the screw that is used to attach the grill to the top of the Microwave. The first it was under warranty - no problem. They shipped the part directly to me and gave me the option of installing it myself or having a service technician come out. I opted for the service tech, and watched him install it, very simple.

We purchased a new house in July of 2005 the appliances were all Kitchen Aid Architect series,including a 30 wall oven. We did not move into the house until December of '05, in December of '06, my wife used the Self Cleaning feature after a busy holiday (this is not the first electric self-cleaning oven we have owned) this was only the second or third cleaning. We went to use the oven and it would not heat (just as I have read about in your column).

I purchased a whirlpool stainless steel microwave hood combination from Lowes in 2007 and it has broken for the 3rd time - won't heat up. Whirlpool and Lowes will not replace it - even they know it is a lemon. They just keep sending out a repair person (the repair calls and waiting on parts take close to 1 month) - so I do not have a microwave for 1 month again waiting on the repair person. I do not recommend Whirlpool microwaves because of their lack of quaility and company service.

I called again on 6/26/08 to file complaint regarding my Whirlpool defective microwave door and was told that I would be responsible to pay for the service to have a Whirlpool tech come out and check. The microwave is only three years old and it sould not matter that the defect didn't appear within the warranty period. The plastic is cracking at two different places on the door and not because of misues on my part. I am the only one that uses it. The plastic is defective from type of plastic used or from how the door was assembled. Whirlpool needs to investigate this defect.

We purchased a Whirtlpool electric range, model #RF272LXTD3 and when I went to use the self-cleaning oven, it became ingulfed in flames within 15 minutes. Smoke was pouring out of the stove and set all the smoke alarms off in the house, I hit the cancel button twice and the lock released so I could put the fire out.

On Mother's Day, 2008, my son gave me a new Accubake Whirlpool Electric Self Cleaning Range Model RF362LXTT3. Right away, I noticed that the dual burners were much slower than my old 20 year old stove. I timed the speed of the burners using exact parameters for each test. Boiling two quarters of water on the left burner took 27 minutes and boiling two quarts of water on the right burner took 16 minutes. I called Whirlpool and they sent out a repairman. The repairman replaced the elements, and much to my chagrin, the right burner now took 30 minutes to boil 2 quarts of water, but the left burner was improved to 19 minutes.

After using the self cleaning function in my oven Model # RBS275pdq6, for the very first time,it no longer worked. No heat, the display is fine. Talked to Whirpool, the warranty has expired but they recommended a service company. They came over yesterday, it will cost about $300.00 to fix, the good news is that I should not use the self cleaning function, use easy off instead, is the recommendation of the guy that was here.

We bought a whirlpool gold slide in gas range in august of 2005. Right after we hooked it up we smelled a strong gas odor- a warranty service call revealed it was a faulty connection piece on the range.

After a couple of months after purchasing, the Whirlpool Gold gas range (gs563lxs) stovetop began cracking and the enamel peeled off. And the stovetop vibrates badly whenever the oven is on. I called customer service at Maytag, and they agreed to fix it since it was under warranty and the problems were significant. The service man came out and replaced several parts. Within a few weeks of that, the same problems returned.

Background: I have a whirlpool oven range model number: GY398LXPQ00 and it lasted less than 2 years. The switch membrane went bad. Poor quality part if you ask me.

We bought a new Whirlpool combination wall oven and microwave unit with our new home in 2005. The door switch on the microwave failed a last week and the unit will not operate since it thinks the door is still open. The unit is so poorly designed that the only way to replace this small door switch part is to pull the whole unit out of the wall cabinet and disassemble the side to get at the switch. Its a two man job, and the cost for parts and labor is $528 !

Our Whirlpool Range Model# GS563LXSB, Teh oven now turns on and runs about 10% of the time. ASI laims to have replaced most every part on it and it still does not funtion properly.

Last Friday while cooking a pizza the oven swiched to self clean.Our whole house was engulfed in smoke. We could not get the oven to shut off and the oven door was locked.Finally we used the circuit breaker.After cooling we tried the breaker and the door locks released. The pizza was charcoal.

We purchased the Whirlpool Gold Accubake oven as an upgraded item when we bought our house in 2001. Honestly, we have not had any problems with the oven until 4/18/08. That is when the oven decided to have a mind of it's own.

I have a Whirlpool freestanding range - model# 3196685. Yesterday I was cooking corned beef on the stovetop. I set the pot down on the stovetop & turned on the burner. I remember hearing a sound a little while later, but then it stopped, so I went about other house chores. Today I was wiping down the stovetop and notice that the glass top on the range has a crack that runs from the front burner I had cooked the roast on, clear to the back burner and off to the side.

We had our home built in September 2007. We had a brand new over the range microwave put in. In Feb 2008 it stopped heating. I have an 11 month old baby that I rely on that microwave for. It took the repair company that Whirlpool sent out 7 weeks to fix. They came out 3 times, with one repairman refusing to work on it. A week after it was fixed it broke again. They claim that their warranty only covers repairs not new ones. I am disgusted I deserve a new microwave.

We purchased a Whirlpool Gold Oven/combo 6/7/2007. The control board went out 9/1/2007; the thermal limit went out 12/21/2007, now the oven won't heat again 02/27/2008 - I've had it.

We bought a Whirlpool Accubake self-cleaning oven in September 2003. It looks good but the Accubake is an oxymoron. Shortly after our oven was installed we were cooking Christmas dinner and the oven just quit. Once it cooled down we were able to re-start it. Then, quit. The repairman replaced the sensor.

We had our Whirlpool Gold oven control panel replaced within the one year warranty period. It took a total two ridiculous weeks to get a hold of Whirlpool and get the panel installed. Six months later, the exact same problem has occurred and we cannot use the oven. Whirhpool has said there is only a 90 day guarantee on parts and labor even though the industry standard is one year on the replaced part. Since talking to a repair man we have learned this is a common problem and many people have to replace the control panel multiple times!

I can't believe that our 2 years old whirpool electric range is slowly fall apart. First the oven door was broken, I tried to repaired but the small pieces of the door never fit in their place again. Then when I baked a pizza, a very strong smoke with burn smell appears by the front buttons., This is a piece of junk. We will never buy another product from this brand

I purchased an over the range microwave made by Whirlpool in July of 2007 which acted up a bit when it was first installed (the touch screen wouldn't respond when I touched it) but after about 24-48 hours it worked. Since then the screen worked on-again off-again until October (nearly 4 months ago) when I called for a repair. Since then, whirlpool has sent out two different repair companies. I have stayed home from work, and therefore lost money, 9 or 10 times for repair men to come to my house. Whirlpool refuses to replace my microwave and insists that I keep allowing the repair companies to attempt to repair my appliance until they can confirm that it is not repairable.

I purchased a Whirlpool Double Oven Model #RBD275PRT00 and had it installed in November 2007. I immediately noticed that the lower oven door exterior got very hot when in use. I had a service company test the surface tempature of the door and exterior cabinet. The door got up to 185 degrees and the cabinet got up to 160 degrees. I contacted Whirlpool, who sent this problem to their engineering department. I never received an answer from engineering regarding what was causing this problem. We then attempted another service call to try to remedy this problem. Upon checking if the repair had solved my problem, which it didn't, my daughter was accidently burned on this door. I immediately called Whirlpool and talked with their safety department. A new unit was sent to me. It, however, has the same exact problem. The lower oven door still gets hot enough to burn someone. When I called Whirlpool to report a continued problem, they basically told me too bad, as far as they were concerned it was fixed. This, even though the new unit had the same problem as the first. They will not refund my $1200.00. I am so afraid someone is going to be seriously burned.

Broiler element comes on by itself, even with oven off. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.

We purchased a SF368LEPQO Whirlpool range 3 years ago for our new home. It always had to try to light more then once when we would use the oven. After Thanksgiving, we could not get the oven to come on at all. We had a service company come out and we were told we would need a relight kit. He also said Whirlpool had a problem with the burner lighting and not staying lit. So they have this kit to make it keep trying until it stays on. After a week or two the service man returned and installed it. It does work, BUT now it tries between 4 to 8 times before starting to heat. I feel very uncomfortable and it's a bit scary that you keep hearing the oven trying to light over and over again. After all this is gas were talking about

We installed a WHIRLPOOL GOLD gas slide in range in our BRAND NEW kitchen in Sept of 2006 and began using the product in October 2006. By march of 2007 (5 months) I noticed the enamel was peeling off the cook top. We had Sears come out and replace it and then again in July the same thing happened and in the same spot. They replaced cooktop number 2 in late August and within 90 days cooktop number 3 is doing the same thing. I have contacted WHIRLPOOL and they said they will give me 15 percent off on the parts. Why would I want another part when the same thing will most likely happen again? Four cooktops in 15 months is unacceptable. Whirlpool has said that is their BEST offer.

I purchased a Kitchenaid (Whirlpool) gas slide-in convection range and within the first 6 months, the door locked when I was cleaning the control panel and required replacing. This was under warranty. Now it is 3 years later and it has done it again. The door has locked accidently and won't release. I also happened to buy a front load washer (whirlpool) in Nov 06 and Dec 07 the washer quit mid cycle with the door locked. The door lock needed to be replaced, a $200 repair, but after much persistence, Sears paid the bill. I believe there is a defect in the door locking mechanisms of these appliances. When I questioned the Sears sales people, they denied hearing of any problems in spite of the fact I happen to have 2 appliances with the same problem. The only thing they want to know is if you bought the extended warranty, which I don't think one should have to buy to have a reliable product.

The interior light on my over-range microwave went out a few days ago. I looked inside the cabinet to find no access panel or light lens I could remove to install a new bulb. I went online to find instructions, none seem to be available for microwaves due to stored energy possibly causing electrocution to the unsavvy DIYer. I did call Whirlpool Corp. and spoke to 4 persons, explaining to each my situation and each referred me to the next person. The last person I spoke with was Brenda. She told me this unit would need to be serviced by an appliance repair technician, it is not serviceable by the customer. I called a service company to find out the charge for replacing a light bulb would be $95.00 per hour (not sure how long it may take) plus the service call plus parts. It seems the design and engineering are faulty to require this kind of excess. If I were to follow the same logic, why is it possible for me to remove/install the light lens on the underside in order to replace dead bulbs as I have done in the past? There are wires and sharp edges that can surely cut your fingers, why allow this? I haven't spoken or written to any others about this situation yet. I will try to give Whirlpool Corp. an opportunity to consider my dismay. If it comes down to replacing the microwave for such a minor issue, I may replace the dishwasher (Whirlpool) with a brand other than any of Whirlpools products and it's many brand names.

I bought a Whirlpool gas Range in November 2003 for our Kitchen re-model. We purchased the range at Lowes in Ranch Santa Margarita, Ca. The re-model took about 60 days. So really I used the range or oven for the first time that Easter. We are not a family that cooks at home so most of our cooking is on the stove top or microwave oven. In June of 2006 I needed to have the control panel replaced. Code E2-F1. This drove me crazy. It controls the oven temperture. You never know if your food is cooking or not.

I bought a Whirlpool gold accubake range 2 1/2 yrs ago for $1200.00. 6 months after we bought it it wouldn't light. We had service come out and replace the igniter. It still did it and also shut off by itself. Everything that could be replaced was. The last straw was on Christmas when the temp went up to almost 500 while on 350. This is the 2nd time. I spoke to Whirlpool twice and all they told me was they were sorry I was unhappy with their product. This is a fire hazard. I now have to spend more money to purchase a new stove and as I stated everything is new, the comp board, ignitor, sensor, etc. I feel I should be compensated in some way

Don't buy a Whirlpool Gas Range. Our model SF379LEKT0 has defective materials as far as the control panel goes. Oven wouldn't start, thus creating a gas smell. Husband replaced control panel ($151.00). Easy to install and the repair services want $750.00 or more. As of today, 12/22/07, again oven won't start, and I hardly use the oven. The control panel controls everything, we were told. Another thing I hate about the stove is: the front gas controls can easily be turned on just by leaning against them. We commenced to smell gas and find them slightly turned on. This has happened more than once. We are very conscious about turning them off, too. We are dumping the Whirlpool and getting a different range tomorrow.

I purchased a g2Microven (Model #GH6178XPS-0) in late 2005 as part of my kitchen remodel. It is a combination microwave/grill oven. While the inside works just fine, the outside is so cheesy that I decided to replace it next year with anything else. Here is a list of my complaints:

I contacted Whirlpool 11/30/2007 in reference to Side by side Refrigerator Model# GD5SHALQ02 not working. Whirlpool scheduled an appointment with Appliance Care Inc. because they do their warranty work. The Repair Tech came 4 Dec 2007 and stated to my wife that this is an easy fix. My wife ask the Repair person if they could wait for me that I was on the way home and would be their in about 10 minutes. I had the proper tool to clean up the burned pin on the compressor. Because the compressor was still under warranty I did not want to attempt to repair it (Void Warranty). The repair tech looked at the fridge, went to his truck and got some tools, and cut off the burned pin coming out of the compressor.The pin was 3/8 of an inch long. When he cut the pin off there was less than 3/16 of an inch left. He replaced the start relay with the old capacitor that was burned on one side. The fridge started working. He told the wife it would cool down in 24 hours. She once again asked if he would wait until I spoke with him; once again he declined. I arrived home in time to see his truck leaving.

I own 4 major appliances manufactured by Whirlpool in 1999 - 2000. Three suffered defects after the warranty expired when the appliances were less than 5 years old. Two had paint problems. The oven control panel failed - $200. Paint is peeling from the refrigerator and the cooktop. I have discussed this with paint experts and the top coat is separating from the primer. This is a (hidden) factory defect due to errors made while painting during the manufacturing process. The plastic cover for the crushed/cubed selector switch has also failed. Whirlpool refuses to help.

Our Whirlpool Gold Accubake Range model GY396LX was in need of cleaning, so we pushed the self-clean button. We went to cook dinner, and the touchpad would not operate. This is the second time that a two-year-old oven has failed. The first time was at 10 monthsand still under warranty, the touchpad was replaced, parts & labor. The new touchpad has functioned well for over a year. The official Whirlpool repairman, who says this is a common problem, states that the high heat from the self cleaning operation fried the touchpad. It costs several hundred dollars to fix.

We purchase all our appliances at Sears for our kitchen remodel. Spending over $1100 on a range was a first for us, but the Whirlpool Gold range model GW395LEPB02 fit my needs exactly and I figured that Whirlpool is a quality brand. They really pushed us to get us to buy an extended warrantee but I've never had a problem with a stove, and at this price, it should last forever right?

My wife and I purchased an upgrade Whirlpool Range from Sears in Jan. 2003. The 'New' range has a defect on the range's glass door on the outside. The part is called trim but in reality it is a bracket supporting the 29 X 20 glass front on the door. This 29 bracket has totally rusted so badly that the paint chipped off revealing the strip of rust. This doesn't look nice nor is it right. In all my years as an appliance purchaser (60+) never had a stove that had rust.

We built a new home w/ ALL new appliance from Whirlpool in Dec 2005. Six mos after living here our range a Whirlpool Gold began giving us problems. Model GW395LEPS03. It raised the temp on its own burning a roast in less than 30 min. Repairs took about 2wks. Then in Oct 2006 the oven would not heat, repair took 2wks again and malfunctioned the following wk. Repaired again and caught on fire the day before Thanksgiving 2006. This range was still under warranty.

When I called whirlpool, they agreed to pay the labor charges but not the parts charge. The oven is out of warranty. That seems to me to be on admission of taking partial responsibilty...just not the most expensive part. They instructed me not to turn the oven back on. That was a week ago. The authorized service rep is having difficulty getting the part from Whirlpool. This same model number RBD was recalled by the company but, since my serial number was not in the same range of recalled numbers, I'm out of luck.

Oven doors locks and goes into self-cleaning mode while baking and cannot be shut off at the console.

We purchased an electric Whirlpool built-in oven in 2001. Five years later, it periodically will switch to clean, locking and burning whatever is in the oven!

I bought a double oven for the price of $1700.The first time i turned it on it blew up and nearly burned my house down. I had to pay an electrician (to make sure nothing was wrong with the wires or fuse box) and have been without a stove for four weeks.They refused to refund my money or replace the stove.

Oven model RF368LXPQ1 The oven will not indicate when the temp.I have set is ready. No matter what temp I set it at the buzzer goes off at 250 degrees. They said I should wait 10 minutes for it to heat to temp I want. No buzzer and you still do not know if it is at that temp. I am a grandmother and my kids like to cook brownies etc. Well they never know when to put in. I have had 2 repair men in and numerous phone calls to Whirlpool--they think I have it turned to celsius. I said the oven clearly says F

We purchsed a new Whirlpool range. The unit is still under warranty but the oven's control board has failed 2 times, and we have had 98 days with no use of the oven. We asked for a replacemnt range due to the unit failing 2 times under warranty. We want another model with no control board. Whirlpool said, "no way, wait for repairs".

A Whirlpool gas range model number SF377PEGb5 was purchased with our new home on 2/17/2000. We begin to have intermitant problems with the oven heating about 6 months after we moved in. We would let it cool down & the oven would heat again. In April of 2004 the oven wouldn't come on or heat and the tech was called. On 4/9/04 the tech came & said the control had to be order and do not use the oven. on 5/6/04 the part was installed and burner was replaced due to a recall. In September the oven would not come on to heat and service was called again. We noticed that if we used the left rear burner the over wouldn't come on. On 9/29/04 the tech said the Sparks module would have to be replaced. I sent a letter to Whirlpool Corporation on September 29, 2004 asking that they provide the part as we feel it has been defective from 6 months of purchase. They declined.

Bought a gas stove in May 2004. In October 2005 the oven started working intermittantly. So far we are out $400 as we have replaced the controller, temperature

We have a 2 year old Whirlpool slip-in range. The door will not stay shut tight enough to seal and the light in the oven stays on most of the time.

The tempered glass on the front of the oven door to my Whirlpool Inglis oven blew up in my face on Saturday morning. The stove is ten years old, was not on at the time, and I was washing the glass down. There was a bang and then glass everywhere.

On 12-14-2005 the Fire Dept was called to my house on a Carbon Monoxide call.They determined the cause was coming from my oven.After speaking with the safety dept at whirlpool.They treated me very poorly and told me a running refrigerator was more important. Well the serviced it on 1-03-06 I asked the service man if I should be concerned about the CO. I have little children. He told me no it wasn't even carbon monxide to begin with it was natural gas.

I purchased a Whirlpool gas range (model SF387LEKB) in June of 2002 from Sears. In March of 2003 I had a problem with the regulator. A repair technician from Sears came out, diagnosed the problem, and replaced the regulator. No problems until November of 2005. There appeared to be no gas flowing to the oven, and therefore it would not ignite. The top burners worked fine.

The control panel in the whirlpool has gone out twice now and acts crazy. I turned on the oven and the self cleaning came on and locked my potatoes in the oven. I turned off the circuit breaker but Whirlpool must be the worst brand of oven I could have purchased. This is the second computer panel that has gone out. My mothers oven still works after 50 years with just an on/off switch.

I bought a Whirlpool self cleaning electric range model # RF364PXK about 5 years ago from Rent a Center in East Greenbush New York..Today, I slammed my hand down on the stovetop and it shattered! I am a small woman, so the force was not that powerful.. The only thing I can think of is after using the stove top for awhile the tempered glass weakened and this is a defective stove top.

My husband and I moved into a new home last April. All the appliances were new, but we did not choose them--they were already installed. Exactly one year and one week to the day of moving in, my Whirlpool oven's control board malfunctioned. I contacted them and, as everyone else has mentioned, because I was outside of the one year warranty (one week, mind you), I was completely out of luck, end of story.

Control panel caught fire on my Estate range. Four months out of warranty. THis happened in the middle of the night . The fire blackened the corian full high back splash behind the range. Thank God that it was there.
