    The product, in the report: DCS by Fisher and Paykel electric double wall oven

    My home oven (DCS by Fisher and Paykel) is repeatedly not turning off and staying on for hours including overnight. Even though I turn the knobs to the off settings, the oven stays on and actually increases heating, ultimately reaching temps over 400 degress. I’ve had numerous visits from authorized repair servicers and spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars over multiple visits and ultimately the problem remains. I use the oven, then turn it off and the temperature maintains a high heat. I am worried that a fire may start burning down my home while I sleep. I’ve had multiple service calls and replacement parts but so far no resolution. I have contacted the company and was rudely informed they were unwilling to assist.

    The product, in the report: DCS 30” Single Electric Wall Oven with 4.0 cu. ft. Capacity, True Convection System, Self-Cleaning stainless steel, model WOSU30.

    I have a DCS electric wall oven model WOSU30 which is 2 1/2 years old. When not in use the oven is always in the off position (for “type of cooking” and “temperature) and locked. Every time we have a power surge and the power comes back on, the oven goes into the “On” position and sometimes it is on warm, broil, or 350 degrees. This has happened quite often, and at first we thought that we didn’t put the oven in the “lock” position and touched a knob by accident, but this was not the case. DCS indicated that I would have to have a private service company come out and evaluate if it is a manufacturer’s defect or not. We have a concern that for an oven to go on by itself because of a power outage will create a fire hazard if this occurs when no one is home.We have now turned off the circuit breaker for the wall oven so that it doesn’t turn on when we are not home.
