Whirlpool WFES3330RS Repair Guide
A current-generation electric range with a built-in air fry mode and a no-preheat setting. The air fry function uses the existing convection fan and element rather than adding hardware, so it introduces no new failure points.

Tech notes
Air fry complaints on ranges are usually technique rather than fault — a crowded pan steams instead of crisping. Ask what was being cooked and how the rack was loaded before opening anything.
