Comment:
We thought we would pay more and get quality. Wrong! We bought it in October 2009 and within the 2nd year (after the one year warranty period) it started malfunctioning. It was the circuit board which basically means you have to buy a new stove because it is about $700 to replace the part and then installation fees. The oven will suddenly just shut down so if you are cooking something like pastry or a roast you likely will not notice until it is too late and your dinner party is ruined. Be prepared to go out for dinner. Apparently the repairman has had numerous similar incidents and yet Whirlpool says there is no product recall or issue. I was very disappointed in the company's response. They could at least offer a goodwill discount or anything apart from writing a letter to Corporate Executive office. The extended warranty was very expensive but I wish I had bought it although you would never expect a stove to have such a short life-span. Also, the quality, for instance, the bottom drawer is so poorly designed. It is very frustrating to use it as it moves crookedly and jams every time you use it. I can't understand how they could not see this design problem. I would warn people seriously about this product. The company should correct the design.

Comment:
I purchased this stove in June 2011. It was not put into use until August. Just after the one year warranty expired, one of the back burners doesn't work. I contacted Whirlpool's customer service, and they were not willing to help at all. Now I'm stuck with a broken stove that will cost me over $250.00 to fix, and it has under one year of use.
