Doesn't stay cold

Would Not Recommend

The refrigerator part stays cold, but the freezer does not. I had to throw away so much food that spoiled because of this. The settings are correct, but the freezer still doesn't work. It stopped working within the first year!

My ice maker is dysfunctional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the refrigerator along with our new house… the ice maker isn’t working correctly. The first month it was just spraying water in the ice box and making a mess in there. Now recently it’s been leaking all through out the fridge an it ruining my food.

Junk

This freezer stopped work at exactly 13 months… or course, one month past the 12 month warranty period! Plus, we lost hundreds of dollars work on food. I’d give it zero stars if I could!

Worst purchases I've ever made

Would Not Recommend

This was probably the worst purchases I've ever made. The refrigerator worked perfectly the first few months and then it began giving me problems. The freezer would work for a few days then the temperature would go up above freezing just enough to partially thaw the food out then it would freeze again. I went to Lowes and they told me that I had to go to Whirlpool to file a warranty claim. After 8 months, two different local repair guys and 3 new circuit boards, the refrigerator still doesn'...

refrigerator

Would Not Recommend

I ordered a refrigerator online and they sent me the wrong merchandise. i call the headquarters and they pretended as if i made the mistake. Usually i am easily satisfied. This occasion it was all Lowe's fault and their response was horrible. I do have photos of the damages also that the appliance they delivered to me. I consider uploading if i need to. they ought to have either corrected their error or reimbursement should had been offered.

Scratch n dent

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got rid of my 10 yr old model that was larger and much more efficient. This one came with a dent in the bottom door. No help from whirlpool. It's also FREEZING on a shelf less then a year. That's part of the reason I bought a new fridge. There is no quality control before shipment. Scratch and dent! With that said... If your single or don't overfill your fridge and can get one without dents, it's okay. It's better for simple use due to siz...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was readily available. The size fit perfectly into the space I had available. It holds everything I need and works well.

It works ok

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Refrigerator works well but the controls for cooling and controls for the humidity settings in the produce drawers are not very good. Recommended cooling is not quite cold enough but if we put it one more place our food freezes in the refrigerator. The controls for the produce drawers are simply a joke. The refrigerator I previously had was smaller in total size but had slightly more space inside.

Nice Refrigerator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've only been using this since 6/26/26. So far everything is working like it should and we are very happy with this refrigerator. It is a nice looking unit and the main shelves are easy to adjust. The 2 crisper drawers are very roomy. It would be nice if the door shelves were adjustable, however they do work nicely the way they are. It is deeper than our previous unit and we like that a lot. It seems to cool very well and evenly, even when it...

We bought this fridge 15 months ago the freezer stopped working and Whirlpool wouldn't cover it under warranty! Really the fridge should last at least 10 years before having to replace it! But hey thanks for not helping me at all Whirlpool! I will NEVER buy Whirlpool again!!!!

The fan went out in 14 months.

Would Not Recommend

The fan went out. The freezer worked, but not the refrigerator. Do not purchase. One would expect a brand new refrigerator to last longer than 14 months. No support from Whirlpool, other than $480 in repair coverage for the future.

WORST APPLIANCE AND MFG. SERVICE EVER
