Jenn-Air Electric Oven — 

I am mostly frustrated with my Jenn-Air dishwasher (not listed here), but the stainless-steel, double oven (electric and convection) hasn't been a treat either.  Six years old, was top of the line (I thought).  Three years into purchase, the LCD panel began fading. Got to point you couldn't read oven temp, timer or anything.  Cost $400 to repair - thankfully, happened a week before warranty expired.  Dodged that bullet.  Sometimes it doesn't hold the temperature and something you're baking won't get done.  I think it is possibly the oven doors, which sometimes won't stay completely shut.  I asked the repairman - who was here for the Maytag refrigerator (3rd visit) - and he said that hinge failure on these ovens was common, and that they specifically make a hinge kit to fix it.  He added that apparently the engineers used too weak of a hinge for the heavy stainless-steel doors!  Hinge kit plus labor will cost me $400 - for an engineering mistake!!  So I guess we will continue to manually push the door shut periodically.  Most of the time the oven works fine, but for as much as I use it (not suzie homemaker, here), I shouldn't have these problems.
