Comment:
We purchased a new Whirlpool Refrigerator, model GX5FHDXVB03 to replace our 20+year old model. We had several other older Whirlpool appliances and decided to stick with the company as these models lasted quite well over the years. Even Consumer Reports highly recommended this new refrigerator. We were wrong.... At less than 3 years old, our new Whirlpool refrigerator stopped freezing food. A service technician verified that the coils were blocked and needed to be replaced. Being an extensive repair, the estimated repair costs were well over $800 and wouldn't guarantee fixing the issue. We contacted Whirlpool's customer service and explained the situation. Whirlpool would not stand by their product, offer any support, or even cared when we stated that this incident has turned us to look at other brands. I understand Whirlpool's refrigerator warranties are now set to 1 year time periods, however, it is irksome and completely unacceptable for a major expensive home appliance to have such an epic failure at such a short lifespan. <br /><br />This speaks a lot to Whirlpools current build quality. A refrigerator should not be a disposable item. Whirlpool does not stand behind their product quality and their lack of customer support is utterly unacceptable.

Comment:
A sheet of ice forms on the bottom of the freezer, which requires defrosting every few weeks. Water will eventually leak on to your floors.
