I have the Whirlpool Gold, too, Gracie. The stove: the coils now have thermostats that turn on and off throughout the cooking process, which makes almost everything take longer to cook (in my opinion). Coming from a gas range makes it all the more difficult. Oven is fine. When electric company came out for an energy survey, I was told by the tech that the stove is very energy wasteful and to use either the BBQ or slow cooker for best energy efficiency. The dishwasher silverware container does not hold enough silverware, and, due to "energy efficiency" does not fully dry the dishes. When the cycle is complete and you open the door, water drips out. Repair man said it's normal because the drying temp isn't high enough to dry the inside of the cabinet. The washer is "HE" but I've noticed that there is always residue visible on dark clothes, which means that it's always on lights but can't be seen. Another service call is in the works. BTW, I use TIDE HE and the cold water setting. The dryer? Well, it takes forever to dry clothes, and I've strung a retractable clothesline in the garage. This, too, is because it's "energy efficient", but Fields repairman said it's really just standard equipment in higher-end casing which is more expensive to the consumer. As I said, I'd trade all this junk in a minute if I could.

We are nearing a year with our new Whirlpool Gold stuff and we like the double ovens, cook top and three door refrigerator and bar refrigerator. They aren't as fancy as the ones we left behind but they perform well. We brought our dependable old Maytag washer and dryer with us and they are still chugging along.
