I don't like this item, based on the lack of quali
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I knew this model to be basic. However, basic should not mean BELOW standards. For example, the oven racks are substandard. No weight bearing skillet like cast iron would be safe for the user. These racks are flimsy! And the boiler portion did not come with any racks at all! The eyes don't seem to be able to go to a truly low setting. The feet of the oven are designed poorly. They extend outward, so no cooking without close to shoes. As for tipping, well I have very little strength in my hands. And I accidentally moved this oven! Maybe it's the install or it's the substandard quality. I have other Whirlpool appliances, this one is TRULY DISAPPOINTING.

Decent size oven
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only had this product for less than 2 years. In terms of appearance, have noticed that the metal trimming on the sides of the oven door are starting to come loose. I would have to snap them back on. In terms of function, I have not had any issues. The oven works well and the stove top range is easy to clean and is efficient.

Safety Hazard - Oven door gets too hot
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this range if you plan on using the oven. The insulation is lacking and is only insulated with glass and thin sheet metal. Typically the oven door has more insulation and a metallic/fiberglass gasket. The glass door and synthetic gasket (presumably rubber or buna) does not seal in the heat. We had the knobs become so hot they were soft/malleable and the handle to the oven door was too hot to touch. I believe this to be a safety hazard and needs to be recalled. The rear display panel is only held together with some machine screws and is not sturdy by any means. It moves if not pressed against your backsplash. I wanted to keep all my kitchen appliances one brand, but I will not be buying another whirlpool range in the future.

Only Lasted 5 Years
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this five years ago and had to replace the oven igniter several times before even replacing it didn't fix the issue. I'm tired of having to repair this thing. My neighbor said they had to do the same thing, so I'm done. On a more positive note, I loved the heavy duty grill top. The top looked good, performed well, and cleaned pretty easily. The oven is the issue.

Faulty Parts & Poor Customer Service
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this gas range for a year and a couple weeks, but the ignitor for the oven no longer works and the digital display is malfunctioning. For the display, the lights flash as if the time needs to be reset, but it won't allow me to reset the time, set a timer, nor turn the oven on. The display issue happened a couple weeks after the oven stopped working. The initial issue was not being able to ignite the oven. When I contacted Whirlpool about it, they directed me to their website for troubleshooting after my year-long warranty expired.

Problem child
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ultimately I had to return this range for two reasons. First I could not deal with the way the clock display made an annoying buzzing sound that was similar to a bug zapper. The second reason I returned this was due to the poor layout on the backside of the range. There are three bands of sheet metal that go across the back side to help stabilize the range. One band is at the top, one in the middle, and one is about an inch from the bottom. Basically unless you have a gas line that comes out of your wall, and is in the back of the left side of it, you will not be able to push the range all the way back to the wall so it looks like it is sitting tight against the wall.

Hard to clean
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This stove is extremely hard to clean. I was told to use stainless steel cleaner and it would come off. I used that and several other products and it still looks terrible.

Defective Unit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.10 days after purchase, we smelled gas in the house and called the gas company. They inspected the house and determined the leak was coming from the burner on the stove. The knobs were all in the off position and it was still emitting gas. Still waiting on a warranty replacement from Bestbuy. Issues like this should be resolved immediately and not have customers wait this long.

One big problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The whole unit gets dangerously hot when using the oven. Children could burn themselves. Not enough insulation in this stove. I wouldn’t be surprised if whirlpool gets sued. Self cleaning ovens have more insulation.
