Q: QuestionWe got this installed today, everything seems to be working except it’s not heating up at all... you can turn the knobs for the stove top and the oven but it’s not heating up. How long does it takes to heat up both stove or oven?

Asked 7 years ago by Rona.

This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 5.3 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Electric Range

• A:Answer I'm having the same problem. I've timed the pre-heat. It takes anywhere from 27-22 min to get to 450 degrees. For 350 degrees it takes 20 min. I just talked to Whirlpool and was told 12-17 min preheat is normal for 350 degrees. She had no specifics on 450 degree preheat. If they send a service man out to look at it and they deem nothing is wrong I will be charge a minimum $85 service fee.

Q: QuestionHow sturdy is the drawer used to hold pots and pans? Most drawers now are flimsy and not very deep.

Asked 7 years ago by Ann.

This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 5.3 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Electric Range - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hi Ann. I agree. Newer ranges and all appliances for that matter are not built as before. Handling the drawer, the material seems thinner than the material used surrounding the actual range, so it does feel somewhat flimsy. The depth inside is about 23"x9"x16" (WxHxD). We use it to store only baking pans and sheets -- flatter items. Can't imagine it being used for much more. Hope this helps...

Q: QuestionCan you see the oven temp and the timer at the same time? We got this 3 weeks ago and going crazy that when we use the oven, we can see the temp but not the timer, so NO IDEA how long is remaining for cook time.

Asked 5 years ago by dlbn.

• A:Answer Hi dlbn, the display on this unit will not display both at the same time. You may press the "Timer" button to see how much time remains and there will be an end-of-cycle tone at the end. You can locate this information on page 4 of the Use and Care guide. You can locate that document here: https://bit.ly/3lOfAhT

Q: QuestionSince the power cord is not included and Best Buy does not attach the power cord without charging a stupidly high amount of money, what does the power cord connection look like? I am going to do this myself and would like to see how it connects.

Asked 7 years ago by Berta.

This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 5.3 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Electric Range

• A:Answer There are small screws holding the cover on and that is located on the backside of the oven. Then you need to remove the 3 nuts that’s will hold the terminals on the cord to the connections on the backside of the oven and then reinstall the nuts until they are snug. The directions for making the electrical connections are in the owners manual. Make sure you reinstall the cover when you are done.
