Type: Conventional bottom-freezer refrigerators

About - Whirlpool EB9SHKXV[Q]
The Whirlpool EB9SHKXV[Q] is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, bottom freezer refrigerator models like the EB9SHKXV[Q] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Temperature performance: This combines results of tests measuring the accuracy of initial temperature settings along with how well a model 1) kept optimum temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer at the same time; 2) kept temperatures even throughout each compartment; 3) kept temperatures constant despite changes in room temperatures; and 4) maintained set temperatures even with very high room temperatures. Energy efficiency: This reflects electricity consumption (based on our tests) per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two models with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient. Noise: Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Features & Specs - Whirlpool EB9SHKXV[Q]
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Claimed capacity is the manufacturer's estimate of the volume, in cubic feet, of interior space. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	18.5
Cabinet-depth model Cabinet-depth models usually measure 27 to 28 inches deep, not quite flush with the cabinets, but at least three inches shallower than many standard 36-inch-wide models. You can get models with stainless exteriors or panel kits. Cabinet-depth model	No
French-door style French door models are bottom-freezer refrigerators whose upper compartments have two narrow doors that open similarly to the doors of a side-by-side refrigerator. These narrower doors use less space in front of the refrigerator when opened, and allow access to either or both sides of the full-width fresh-food compartment. Typically more expensive, French-door models are usually 36 inches wide, though some newer models are 33 inches wide. French-door style	No
Water dispenser It is normally located in the fresh food compartment. Water dispenser	No
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	No

Strength

I love having my refrigerator on top.

Weakness

It sux. One year after I bought it, it started the trouble below

About one year after I bought this my freezer coils began freezing up, thawing INSIDE the freezer, filling the freezer bottom and freezing into a solid block of ice--and then when there is no more room, leaking out onto the floor (my first clue something was wrong.) It is a pain in the butt taking off the back panel (which requires removing the icemaker first,) and blow drying (melting) the ice off the coils, soaking up the water, etc. This is happening repeatedly. This is the fourth time in a year’s time.
