Hi -
I posted last week about an issue with our new Whirlpool Gold single wall oven. When using it for the first time last week to cook a pizza, it made a loud howling and whistling noise, and sounded like a 737 jet engine.

The Villages warranty dept. came through and sent the certified Whirlpool technician out today to check our oven noise. He says the whistling and howling noises are normal, and there is nothing wrong. We disagree! We turned off the oven about 10 min. ago, and I can still hear the whistling back in the office!

The technician suggested we find neighbors who have this same oven, or walk through houses that have it and ask if we can test the oven. Since we don't have time to do all of that, I decided to post to TOTV. For those of you who have the above-mentioned oven, do you hear these noises?

The technician said we can "escalate" this to the Whirlpool rep for The Villages, which sounds like what we will likely do. He is our new "BFF" because he called last week with concern about our dishwasher (which got replaced).

If these noises are normal, it looks like we will have to shop for a new oven. But you can't hear the oven noises in the stores, so what to do?

Thanks,
Gail
