sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The refrigerator is quite loud. There is a humming, similar to loud fluorescent lights that continues on and off, so I am assuming when the cooling mechanism (compressor?) kicks in. I have a technician from Kettle Moraine Appliances, where I purchased the unit, scheduled to come out on Wednesday to take a listen.

DO NOT BUY

Would Not Recommend

I started having trouble after 1 year. All my food would spoil unless it was in the bottom drawer. Had is serviced and then a year later it started again. refrigerator goes from 35 degrees at the bottom to 60 degrees on the top shelf. The freezer temp also fluctuates so the ice will start to melt and then refreeze as a blob. Lowe's is refunding me since I purchased the protection plan but now I am stuck with out a working refrigerator for months. Lowe's should stop selling this product. It's g...

Don't buy, poor performance and very short life.

We bought this fridge 2.5 years ago. The top portion cools poorly, always has been that way, even with their temperature control set as cold as it will go. Now the top portion (the refrigerator part) is room temperature nearly all the time, food is spoiling like it was set on the countertop instead of being refrigerated, but the door's display indicates everything is fine. Inside the fridge is about 60 degrees F. Don't buy one of these, it is a waste of your hard-earned money. My last refrigera...

SLEEK SIZE WITH NICE FEATURES

Would Recommend

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Im loving the compact size of this fridge. It fits nicely in my kitchen without taking over the room. So glad i decided on this fridge. Holds everything i need and just a little more. The fingerprint free front is great and really works! Grateful for the little alarm that goes off if I’ve left the door ajar.

Compressor failed at 1-1/2 years.

Would Not Recommend

Don’t buy this unit! The compressor on mine locked up at 18 months. The service tech says it will cost more to repair that to replace the entire unit. Whirlpool won’t stand behind what is obviously a faulty product. Note that many other reviews note the same issue. My tech says that he works on more Whirlpool than any other brand and strongly advises to stay away from them.

Completely failed in 18 months

Would Not Recommend

I bought this unit in November 2022. In June 2024, its compressor locked up making it useless. Service tech tells me it would cost more to repair than replace. As it turns out, I had not seen the many, many reviews describing similar issues. Don’t make the mistake I made…look elsewhere for your refrigerator choice. Also, don’t expect Whirlpool to take care of you. They are aware of the issues but haven’t done anything to address them…this actually surprised me. These are “made in America” ...

Shouldnt even get 1 star

Would Not Recommend

I completely regret buying this fridge. After waiting a ridiculous amount of time for it to finally be able to be sent out from the supplier, during which time Lowe's repeatedly credited and charged my debit card without any warning. after a very cumbersome process to contact the service people and multiple multiple visits by a technician, this refrigerator continues to freeze the food. I keep the setting at 39° but it doesn't make any difference. A truly terrible product that is completely unab...

Nice looking but fails to keep stuff frozen

Would Not Recommend

Ive had similar issues that others have faced. This model fails to keep the freezer cold enough for ice. Has happened twice now in the past 2 years. The first time it worked after a few days. This time I'm looking for an alternative fridge. (I just noticed a plug in the freezer side which has an arrow on it indicated it can be moved. Not sure what its for. It was jogged by one of the freezer trays.) On the plus side, both the fridge and freezer sections are very well laid out. The trays and bin...

Sorry - but must say do not buy this refrigerator

Manufacturing and design leave much to be desired. Sure, it looks great and is easy to use, clean etc. but I am now on my third machine and 5th service call in just three years.

Bad Product - Bad Service!

Hello Possible Customers. Run from this fridge. Mine has broken (in operatable) TWICE! I have owned it 3 years this month (July 24). I left my review Roy in Texas 2 weeks ago. Whirlpool was very quick to respond creating a case for me. I was hoping they were going to do the right thing. Responding to my review created a case and asked me to reach out to them. They messaged me seeming to be helpful. They asked if I had an extended warranty. I do not because I expected this fridge to FUNC...

Still Great After a Year

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nearly a year later, this fridge remains ideal for my 470 square foot apartment with its compact kitchen. For its size, the fridge is surprisingly spacious and the ice marker remains reliable.

Energy efficient and quiet

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this delivered 3 weeks ago and am very happy with it. It seems to be very energy efficient and quiet compared to my last refrigerator. I live alone and it is the perfect size for me.
