Exclamation Whirlpool Range Fire
Brand: Whirlpool
Age: 1 - 4 years

Ever hear about a range catching fire during a selfclean cycle?
Caught on fire first time it was tried. No evidence of grease or anything else in the oven.
The range is completely destroyed. Unfortunately is is just out of warranty.
Any comments?

What caught on fire?

Have you contacted Whirlpool?

What is the model number of your range?

to clarify last message
Whirlpool said it was operator error.
I do not see how that can be.

If they did not see the range I don't know how they can say that.

Operator error?

Your picture did not come through can you send them?
