One of the Worst Appliances I’ve Purchased
on September 30, 2026
Posted by: ckt23
My Whirlpool oven (model WOS51EC0HS20) displays “Product Locked” after a power outage and becomes completely unusable. I have not found a way to reset it or restore normal operation. A routine power outage should never leave an oven unusable—this is unacceptable.
What good is an oven if you cannot cook with it when the power comes back on? This appears to be a software issue, and Whirlpool needs to investigate and provide a permanent fix, along with clear recovery instructions.
I deeply regret buying this oven. Based on my experience, it is unreliable, frustrating, and a purchase I would not make again. I absolutely do not recommend this product.

I’m giving this oven one star because a routine power outage should not leave it unusable. This appears to be a software issue, and Whirlpool needs to investigate it and provide a permanent fix. Customers deserve a reliable oven and clear recovery instructions. i don't recommend this product

It locked itself out after a power outage. Stuck between update to date/time and unlock.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this 2 months and it has nice features. I'm still learning the functions of everything. I have never owned a Whirlpool product before.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with my oven which was installed on January 6. My only complaint is that the sound when it it is done preheating and when the item is done is not very loud even though soind is set on maximum.
I barely use my oven and less than two years after buying, the oven suddenly displayed an hourglass and don’t unplug symbol. Nothing I did, including shutting off the circuit breaker, would reset the oven. Most likely the control panel needs to be replaced. I expect more from Whirlpool. Don’t be fooled thinking you have a sleek modern oven. It’s junk!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
