Product review (1 stars): MAIN CONTROL PANEL REPEATEDLY DEFECTIVE AND EXTERIOR OVEN DOOR BURNS YOU!!!!
Main control panel doesn't function correctly. Oven turns off in the middle of food preparation, without warning, or just doesn't turn on at all. We have had many meals ruined. Most recently, it turned off part way through cooking a pie and a chicken. We have had a technician out who "reset" the board. The unit worked ok for a month, but is scheduled for repair again. It is less than 1 year old and we have been having this issue since it was 1 month old.

Second major issue: THE EXTERIOR OVEN DOOR GETS EXTREMELY HOT. THIS WILL BURN YOU!!!! It will burn not only your hands and stomach when you open the door/lean against it, but will severely burn your children's/grandchildren's hands. I talked to the technician and called KitchenAid about this safety matter. Their response was that this extreme heat was necessary for ventilation, that the oven needed to vent directly under the handle, and that this was normal!!!! "Wear a mitt when opening the oven door." I find this interesting...our 20 year old oven door didn't burn us when it was closed.

Please do your research and check out other reviews on this range. There are similar reviews on other sites that I wish I would have seen before purchasing. Thought KitchenAid was a superior brand, but we bought a refrigerator at the same time and it has major issues too:( I hope this helps you in your range/oven purchase!
