| Fritz57's Full Review: Jenn-Air JGS8850 Gas Kitchen Range |
We bought it because Maytag, in the past has been reliable. It replaced a very old GE that was beyond reasonable repair. We'd have got another GE, but I feel their quality has suffered alot in the last decade. Our local appliance repair guys agreed.
The paint above the vent is almost all peeled away.
The burner surface paint is easily scratch with light cleaning.
The burner grates are all discolored.
The door has a chip that wasn't caused from dropping anything.
The burners intermittently doesn't stop clicking (starting) even after the flame is on.
The oven floor is heavily warped after 5 cleaning cycles of the shortest time available.
It's a bit over 2 years old now. We just had the whole front panel replaced because the touch pads were failing. A few months back we had a new sparker put in, a new surface and exhaust panel. I'm glad we bought the 5 year warrantee.
a bit over 3 years. New oven ignitor. Would have cost $200 w/labor.
It works well, but what shoddy manufacturing. No more Maytag.
