Whirlpool AKZM654IX

worst oven ever – Most needlessly complex user interface ever. I dare my friends to try to turn on the oven, set temperature, and start. I have to give help several times before they can succeed. Plus everything depends on a flimsy "check" button, which of course breaks from poor quality and cheap plastics. Do not buy

Scary experience – Our oven worked perfectly fine for many years until one day we had a scary experience. I was baking for 30mins and I smelt the food burning. I went to the oven, turned it off but the temperature kept rising to 400 degrees. The smoke alarms were going off. The oven then died. Such a scary we didn't want the oven anywhere near our house and got a new oven.  Show details

Glass shattered – Was quite happy with this oven - had it for 5 years but one night the internal glass shattered while the grill was on - very disappointing...cost of getting the glass replaced is close to the price I paid for it!!! Waste of time! I will buy another brand in the future.  Show details

Unreliable and faulty twice in three years! – fixed by technician after overheated with reset button during first 18 mths,now three years old has happened again but reset button does not correct the fault, grill continues to function without selecting,heats to 300 degrees plus,can only turn off by meter box.no longer safe,will have to buy a new oven

Only but it if you want to replace it after 3 years!!! – When new the oven looked good and worked well, we had a fault with overheating after the 1st year that was fixed . now the grill heats up on its own and wont turn off we have to use the fuse box out side to isolate it- no help as its out of warranty- if you want one for free you can have this one!!

Shocker....hard to turn on and button broke after four years....not good enough – Too hard to turn to correct type of cooking and very weak buttonsbroke after only four years. Not good enough

Very disappointing – I especially sought out this oven after reading reviews from this site. We started having problems within warranty time with it turning itself off all the time, needing me to go and reset the temperature and then restart the oven. This happened over and over. In the end I used to sit on a stool in front of the oven to do this every few minutes… Read more

to cook something! Procrastinated and now out of warranty, it needs new mother board which Technician is not sure will even fix the problem, but the most annoying thing is when he came to do this, Whirlpool have changed the motherboard needing an adapter which does not come with the mother board (you only find out when you try to put it in!) and then charge you $60 more and make you wait another 2 weeks for that part!!!! We live in the hinterland so am charged and extra $70 fee for just coming to us on top of everything else! He is coming today. Looking at nearly $500 to fix with no guarantee it will solve our problem. If I could I would scrap this oven and buy a Miele! When working, cooked beautifully Unreliable, Timer bell function cannot be used when cooking! It can only be used when oven is not. You have to use an external timer!
