- UPDATE AFTER 6 MONTHS: • LG 6.3 cu. ft. Convect...
I don't think I'd recommend this oven anymore. I've found quite a few issues with it after extensive use.
The front edge of the stove gets excessively hot to the touch after extensive use of the front left burner. Hot enough that I can't keep my hand on it for less than a half second.
If you make stock on your stove, know that the burners shut off after 12 hours, and this feature can't be overridden. This safety feature seems kind of stupid, since if your house hasn't burned down in 12 hours, it will probably be good for an indefinite amount of time.
After using the oven more, I finally had to clean it. The Easy Clean function sucks, unless you enjoy scraping every single square inch of the oven interior. I much prefer self cleaning, which you just have to sweep out the ashes when you're done.
The oven interior has hot/cool spots. I cooked chicken breasts a few nights ago, and had one that was 160°F, and one that read 120°F, even though they were the same thickness. The temperature gradient seems to be most drastic from front to back, with the back cooking much faster.
Thanks to Home Depot and LG for providing a review sample.
Home Depot: homedepot.sjv....
Here are my thoughts on the LG convection oven, model LRE3061ST.
Words can't describe how grateful we are when we find your video. I was about to place an order on this unit thinking that it will make my life easier with cleaning the top, as well as in the oven. Nope! Easy-clean is not the same as self-cleaning. If I have to clean "frequently" then I would rather buy a non-wifi and traditional oven with a flat stovetop. Thanks again! Wish you all the best with this wonderful RUclips Channel.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the review. I wish I've would of seen this before I purchased mine. Got mine for a 1yr and half now, still works easy cleaning. I just dislike the oven it tend to cook slower than I thought. Even my airfryer cooks faster. Because of this I dont use my oven much for cooking meat besides baking. Thanks for the review, something I will consider on my next stove hunt.
Thank you for your excellent analysis, especially the update. I believe you saved me from buying a regret!! Cheers
I've had this stove since April of 2020 - 9 months - and if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have bought it. Nothing has failed (yet) but the "Easy Clean" feature is a marketing joke. Sure, if I clean out my oven after every use, it will be easier to clean regardless of whether I spray it with water, so the only thing that makes it "easy" is more frequent work. I have grease on the sides of the oven wall from using the convection feature ONCE that won't come off. It cooks unevenly with the back side cooking faster than the front and the temperature is about 20 degrees too hot. I compensate by adjusting the temperature and rotating the food in the oven. Lots of work for a stove that's supposed to have been "calibrated" and is "easy".
I clean the cooktop after EVERY use, and I mean EVERY use, and while it still looks good enough, it should look brand new, and it doesn't. Ceramic cooktops are not the great thing they're supposed to be.
Overall, I don't think this oven is great for the money. I think it's average at best for the money. Just a stove. It boils, broils, roasts and bakes.
I was excited at first about my new stove. I have had it 4 months. I love the blue interior, however it is IMPOSSIBLE to clean.... even with oven cleaner. And the easy clean is worthless. I will never show anyone the inside again, as I can't get it clean. It is NOT self cleaning.... don't be fooled.
The lower drawer is so shallow (5"), the front of the door is easily dented from the INSIDE if anything catches. I keep the lids for my pans in the bottom drawer. If one handle sticks up a little too high, when I go to close the drawer it dents the front of the drawer from the inside (single thickness).
Also, the oven handle sticks out quite a bit. My drawer that is perpendicular to the stove cannot open all the way anymore as it catches the handle.
Totally agree with everything you wrote.
@@susanmueller9777 me too. I was lured in by the blue interior oven. Glad I had 48 hours to basically test it out. Its being picked up and I'm getting a refund
I have same problem. Don't know how to clean. I tried every thing even they say don't clean with products.
Ovens used to be easy to "self-clean" with the high temp setting but now with the water / steam clean system it seems all of the ovens have problems. Bring back the old method which WORKED.
Great review and glad I found it. Was considering it but not now.
Mine had uneven heating and spot marks under the glass the first time I used it. Good job I discovered this before my 48 hours were up (Home Depot). I'm getting a refund. Going back to coils. Never had a problem with that kind of stove. Also ... don't be fooled by the purple oven and it's EASY CLEAN setting. Aint nothing EASY CLEAN about it. You will be basically boiling water i the base of the oven then going in there to clean it yourself. Buyer beware.
Glad you got a refund. This thing is a turd of an oven.
Both of my front burners stopped working before it was 2 years old, and the convection fan seized in the first 6 months
Yeah, I talk about all the problems I had with this in my second follow up video. Would not recommend this stove.
My front burners just went bad. Anyone have a few repair pointers?
We just moved and now we have one of these, no idea why but every pizza we make or anything thicker than a couple inches like stuffing ends up raw in the middle
First 35 sec I learned it thanks 💯 didn't even need to watch the rest lmao
I was in Lowe’s today and was looking at it. 1st issue for me is lack of bottom heating element, because heat does not travel down, having the element at the top will result in uneven or undercooked or even burned food. Not your fault but those cookies were over browned. Anything like cakes, biscuits cookies you had better run that fan to circulate the hot air; if you don’t most of the heat from the element will stay nearest the top of the oven. Hopefully you have luck baking or roasting meats in it, but I don’t think it will be as efficient without an element on the bottom.
2nd issue is the digital display/control panel: that thin sheet of plastic they cover it with, gets greasy and oily from cooking, it cleans good at first, but over time it gets scratched, smeared and hard to see through .
Knobs would have been better with the display covered by glass. Glass can actually be cleaned with grease removing solvents , while plastic gets pitted.
3rd issue is the storage draw. It is very shallow, because the interior of the oven is vertically longer than normal (No need for that especially with the single overhead heating element) the storage draw walls were thin! Just a bit thicker than roof flashing aluminum! And it moved side to side when I opened it. Not very sturdy.
It’s a beautiful appliance and the top looks like it could do the job. The blue interior is great looking, but I feel like LG cut corners with that single heating element, and that cheap thin storage draw at the bottom.
Your video helped me to stay away from this one.
LOL, you should go watch my follow up video. You'll be glad you stayed away.
@@DoresoomReviews wow...I just checked it out...can’t imagine how annoying it is to have lost money on such an important appliance. Some of these companies either don’t care or just don’t do good research before they put out product.
Thanks again, and good luck.
There is bottom heating element. It is hidden under the oven floor. This is how the oven capacity is so large. The bottom element is the main heating element.
@@garymolina1394 no way there’s a heating element under the oven floor…hidden too🤣…the heat would warp the oven floor
Gotta say I’ve had mine for a year and I’m just trying to figure out the convection roast feature and what it’s used for, aside from that we absolutely love it 😍
Does the controls get really hot like said im the description?
Use the "convection" feature for roasting beef, poultry and vegetables. Don't use it for baked goods though...may dry out your baked goods. Convection oven is basically an oven with a fan/fans that help evenly distribute the heat for faster more even results...helps crisp the outside and the skin on poultry too.
Idk I love this oven. Came with our condo. And haven’t had an issue with it whatsoever
I just got this device however , how can i open the low heat inside the oven without the top ? to bake pizza or something else.
I hate this stove, but stuck with it because it costed to much to just go buy new one ☹️ any tips on how to get anything crispy in oven?
I cook cornbread in iron skillet and not getting a good crust , nor pizza , or anything 🤷♀️😭
Finally what brand of stove you bought ?
What brand you will suggest now ?
I replaced this with a bare bones $450 Whirlpool glass top model WFE515S0EW0. It's done great so far!
@@DoresoomReviews Thanks for quick reply................love from India !!!!
I have the same oven, it's only a year and a half old. The preheat takes an hour just to reach only 335 degrees. Does not go any higher than that. Anyone had an issue with this?
I definitely would not recommend this oven. The heating element in the oven has failed three times in one year.
Back of bottom oven glows bright red with flames gas lgdg 4315st is the model
with vinegar and baking soda is all you need for big messes. So I don't need self-cleaning
Or in houses like mine where the oven is not vented out of house, it is not safe to use self cleaning. And that is stated in the booklets, but people are so lazy.
we just got a great price on this oven, finally got it delivered and in place. I noticed a dent in the back center once they unboxed but did not think it would be an issue. I might be wrong. per your review, you state the fan as quiet. mine sounds like a motor boat. when you state the fan is quiet, how Quiet? My wife says that what we have is not acceptable. any thoughts? thanks in advance
SIFU_usa I can't hear mine when the oven is closed level of quiet.
thank you
SIFU_usa lg stove
I just got one of these stoves and my fan is noisy too. I wonder if there's something wrong with it.
Hi.what degree make perfect pizza in this LG oven?and how long?pleae plz answer
Step 1: Don't use this oven.
Step 2: bfy.tw/PYHY
Just bought this model tonight,had to return a Samsung electric range because it made a clicking noise every 30 seconds while baking.Called Samsung and they state that this noise is "normal" and is the relays switching on and off,but it drove me crazy.Anyway,I have a few questions;first,and most important,does this model make clicking noises while baking?Also,is the convection "true convection"?(Fan also has a heating element)The specs are confusing,one says yes,the other no.Hope that you can answer the question about whether or not it clicks before I get it delivered in three days!Thanks!
I hate to break it to you, but the burners on this range use relays that make a periodic clicking noise as well.
I'm not positive about the convection question you had, sorry. It does have a fan in the back, but I can't see any heating elements around it (not to say there aren't any though).
Your question reminded me that I've been meaning to update this video after owning the stove for an extended period of time. See video description for a few more gripes that I have with this unit.
Thanks for the quick answer and the help.Bummer..I may have to cancel this sale and find another bur first I wanted to ask a few more questions if possible.
So the clicking occurs on the LG at the top burners and not from the oven?
How often does the clicking noise occur?The Samsung clicked around every 30 seconds,only while baking.How loud would you guesstimate it is?Loud enough to be heard in another room?
From what you described it sounds like the LG has the "regular" convection.
"True",or "European" convection uses three heating elements,the third being mounted around the fan.
Sorry I forgot to follow up right away - I'll answer what I can:
The clicking comes from the burners, I haven't noticed it from the oven. It's about every 20-30 seconds, and can be heard in the bedroom right next to the kitchen, even with the door closed. It has to be quiet in the house to notice it though. The oven is more of a modulated "hum," which isn't very loud.
Not too sure about the whole "regular vs true" convection thing - this is my first convection oven.
I’ve had my since 2016 taking to dump tomorrow replaced two eyes now have had two wires have burnt into with oven the microwave gave up last year, good luck with yours
LOL, see part 2 of my review. I replaced this piece of junk in less than a year. LG's warranty service was worthless. The repair techs they sent told me there was nothing wrong with it even though it shattered two glass pans due to extreme uneven temperature gradients.
Can you help me, how to bake cake with the heat just from down , which option I choose
There is no bottom heating element in this, unfortunately. As far as I know, all the oven settings use the rear heating element as well.
@@DoresoomReviews Are you kidding? There is, indeed, a bottom heating element. It is hidden beneath the oven floor. No oven heats just with a top element, except a broiler.
That looks like a bad design. Don't you burn your arm while fooling around with the burner controls if there's something cooking on the stove top?
Tons of stoves have a similar design actually. The only time it's an issue is when there's a tall pot on the back burners, but that doesn't happen very often, since the larger burners are in the front.
What IS a bad design about this stove is the way the top edge is insulated. The front near the oven door handle gets VERY hot to the touch when you have a big stock pot on the front burner while making soup. I just discovered it this month - it gets so hot that I can't hold my hand on it for more than a second.
Who cares if tons of stoves have an equally bad design? Tell me, what is the advantage to the push buttons over a simple knob that you can almost instantly set to the position you want it in?
knobs break off and are more complex than a simple membrane switch on the existing membrane keypad. back controls are so kids cant get at them and burn the house down as recently took place. ideally they should use a bluetooth control panel so no fiddling with the panel is required.
@@ysesq knobs are better and the last thing they need to put on there is Bluetooth...if it acts up, motor money for repairs. Some things need to remain simple.
We bought ours three months ago and still struggling. The oven does not cook well. Any dough gets burned on top and uncooked from the bottom. I had technician coming twice but nothing has change. The range arrived after the return window so I am stuck with it. Lg just send technician until the warranty is over and they will say (Nothing we can do for your, your warranty expires). I wish I saw these reviews before
One button switches two burners. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Thank for your help.
If I switch on the right top conner small burner it switches on two burners. The small one and the big one on the right side of the cooktop. If I switch the one on the right big burner it works fine and switches on only its burner. Please help.
It sounds like the control panel buttons aren't lined up on the right contacts underneath. If it's under warranty, have them send out a repair technician. Otherwise if you or someone you know is relatively handy, you could unplug the oven and then remove the cover and ensure everything is seated properly.
Does your fan go off and on during the bake cycle
+trandy Megashko I think it did, but I got rid of this piece of junk stove in under a year so I can't verify.
Had this stove for less than a year. So far the lower control board failed, the broiler has failed and the cook top has now failed, the wiring harness BEHIND the stove has melted and needed to be replaced. The easy clean function is worthless, the cook top gets very hot when using the stove as described in the video. The buttons on the control panel are not satisfying to press and very mushy with no positive feedback. Do not get this stove, go with another brand/model. I have been without a functioning stove for four weeks now and LG / BestBuy has been at my house over 5 times to make numerous repairs and it still does not work properly. Stay Away.
I couldn't agree more!
Thomas Rundle The same exact things are happening to me. This stove looks fancy but it doesn’t perform well.
Did u get the geek squad warranty? Iw as wondering about that
Is yours not touching the wall? My is 4 " separated from the wall. Is normal?
I had mine right up against the wall. I suppose it depends on the depth of your counters.
We just bought a house with an LG LRE3194 electric range. I used the oven the first time today and it burned the top of pizza but bottom was still doughy. I'm using it now on a dish that usually takes 1 hour at 350. It's been in 3 hours and potatoes still hard. WTF we're hungry.
3 hours for potatoes? Wow
Does anyone know if we can cook bacon, eggs, anything on the burner without using pans or anything? Also, do we need certain pots and pans for them stoves? Please someone answer me. I'm thinking of getting one.
It doesn't work like a griddle, you will need pans to evenly distribute heat for cooking. Any pan will do, it's not an induction top. That being said, I strongly advise against buying this stove. See my follow up review linked in the video description for reasons why.
@@DoresoomReviews thank you for replying
How do I bake pizza
How can I turn off the beeping sound ?
I don't think you can. I replaced this junk oven with a bare bones $450 one and never looked back. If you haven't watched the second part of my review before buying, you should. ruclips.net/video/piRrjdMF7WI/видео.html
@@DoresoomReviews Did the same thing ... ordered another stove with basic knobs and coils!
I would not recommend this range - although it is a beauty - it is not functional. The self-clean does not clean! Had this only a few months when the oven stop heating properly, had to replace the lower heating element, the thermal fuse and the door lock! What did I pay for?!!
worse stove ever mine just broke again in less then 1 year we paid $319 first time to get it fixed and just stopped working 2 burners on right side then after couple weeks started working back again and now its the oven 🤦🏽♀️ and again 2 burners omg hate it!!! im just get new one again im research better this time👎🏽
That sucks. Hope you find a better one! I replaced this one with the cheapest glass top stove that Lowe's carried, and was much happier with it, even though it retailed for almost half of what this LG did.
I totally agree nothing but junk.
I just want to know how to replace the freakin' light bulb inside the infrared oven! And why do you have the word "JUNK" in your rushed video like this was an after-thought in making it? Anyone with any baking experience KNOWS you should check your project halfway through baking time and turn the pan!...HeLLoooOOooo!
Because I had the oven break on me AFTER making the first review and then I made a second follow up review. So... shouldn't you be thanking me instead of complaining?
RUclips won't let you edit an existing video other than the title and video description. And no, a decent oven will bake evenly and not leave chicken raw in the front of the pan and burned in the back.
Great, this item has been discontinued happy i didnt get it
red from under
deal breaker right off the bat with that stupid electronic burner setting. who the hell thought of that.
Not someone who uses a stove! 😂
Mine has broke down now for the second time in 3.5 years; don't get this oven!
Sorry to hear that. I finally gave up fighting LG on warranty repair and just bought a new oven.
