Comment:

The fridge arrived severely damaged on the exterior, so badly damaged that it no longer sat flat on the floor but had to be shimmed with about 1 1/2 of shim on one side. It sits very crooked even so. The body of the fridge is paper thin. Whirlpool provided no compensation and would not return the product. According to the repair service, Whirlpool is the company which is most unlikely to compensate their clients.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

nothing great to say about any of the Whirlpool appliances we bought, the the fridge is the worst! 2 rapair calls over the huge drawer than comes smashing down if you put more than a few things in it. ice maker broke down, and when it works its so load you can hear it add water 40' away, just bad product that i'm stuck with, worst 6 months with a fridge ever, i hope to sell used but feel bad giving this junk to someone else.
