Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Horrible Unit and WP doesn't care

NeverEverAgain 8/28/2026

Had two service techs from two different companies come out. They acknowledge the sound and noise, both say "It is by design!". Where in the sales literature does it say "Hey, buy our loud and noisy appliances because we know that's what you expect of it!" Called support and they actually tried to tell me having a howling and whistling unit, all day and all night, is the way it was design to function... really!? Whirlpool doesn't want to take responsibility as there is NO way to submit a formal refund request or send an escalation e-mail of any type to anyone.

Our New Fridge

bka31 3/16/2026

The above refrigerator was delivered on February 27, 2026. It looks beautiful, but it has one major problem. We noticed that it had a high-pitched hum, almost like a whistle, which can be heard in most of the rooms of the house. Thinking there was something wrong, we contacted the service department. A service man looked at it and told us it was the condenser. According to him, there was nothing wrong. This is how they were made since the "Green New Deal" mandates. We have never had such an annoying refrigerator. We cannot get away from the sound. There must be a better way to make refrigerators than this. We need other appliances in the future, but they will not be Whirlpool unless this problem is fixed. We waited a long time to purchase a new refrigerator. It is sad to know that our old refrigerator worked better than the expensive new one.

Mildly satisfied

Pawpal 3/13/2026

This model seems efficient and cools quickly, but the shelves aren't as adjustable as we'd like. It would mostly be improved by having leveling feet on each corner. The front can be leveled, but the back is still tilted, causing it to wobble when the door is opened. Now the rollers underneath don't meet the ground and the refrigerator can't be moved without lowering the leveling screws.

Perfect Size; Great Height

Anastasia 3/10/2026

I have a limited space as to where the refrigerator can fit. Consequently, the 30" refrigerator had to be returned, but luckily this 28" was the perfect fit. The only thing I don't like is the EZ connect Icemaker, because there's nothing EZ about it. The Installation directions don't portray the back of my refrigerator. So it's been a few weeks now and I still don't have the icemaker installed.

Sleek Looking

Chillin' 2/17/2026

My review is being written within 2 wks of delivery. The best thing about this refrig is its super quiet operation I am not thrilled with the fact it only has 2 adjustable shelfs. The door storage is very good. I have noticed the freezer door will often pop open when the refrigerator door is closed. Overall this is a good refrig for tight spaced. So far I prefer this model over my old 'like sized' GE...mainly because its less noisy

Susie 2/11/2026

Feels a little smaller sq footage inside than our 1990's model; the bottom clear shelving isn't long enough, leaving an 1 inch gap, exposing both crisper drawers to spills & humidity

Nice and cold, but freezer door pops open

12/12/2025

Both freezer and refrigerator get very cold on the recommended setting. Plenty of storage space in refrigerator. Door bins are the right size and convenient. Complaint: freezer door pops open slightly and closes on own each time I close the refrigerator door. Trying to push freezer door in to be sure it is securely closed each time I open and close the refrig door right now. Afraid this may become a problem in the future. Will watch.

Disappointing appliance

Sal306 10/31/2025

I am very disappointed in this refrigerator. Food in the refrigerator portion tends to freeze, especially in the vegetable drawer. Once it defrosts, the food has to be thrown out. The freezer section does not hold very much. The ice maker works well.

Sandy50 10/29/2025

Bought it on 7/23, delivered on 8/6, repair visits on 8/14, 8/21, 8/29, 9/4, 9/15 finally after last repair visit Whirlpool agreed to actually replace the refrigerator. It was backordered so arrived on 10/21. As of 10/29 the new one is working as it should, hopefully we will not have any other problems. Not pleased that Whirlpool gave us so much trouble before replacing it. Manny's Appliance was wonderful but they were under the constraints of Whirlpool.

Good quality in this refrigerator.

Tina 9/21/2025

The only problem I have is the delivery from Lowes. I was shoved in very close to mt wall and cabinet and was never leveled. The door swings out every time I look for something in the refrigerator. I called Lowes and was promised someone would come and fix the problem but no one came. The refrigerator is very well made and I like it very much. It is smaller than the one removed but seems to hold more and is better quality. It is very quiet running and things don't fall through the bins on the door. I am happy with it but it needs to be leveled. Can you help getting someone to fix it. I am 94 and legally blind.

Very annoying motor/compressor noises

Geo58 9/17/2025

Bought this to replace our last Whirlpool refrigerator, and an all frig/no freezer type wasn't an option anymore. I don't know if it's because of the self defrost freezer, but the motor is very noisy and has a high pitched, undulating whine that is very annoying. We don't have much other than some popsicles and ice cube trays in the freezer, so don't understand the extra noise that sometimes runs for 20 mins, quits for a bit, then starts up again.

When this refridgerator was delivered I noticed a whole where the freezer door meets the frame of the refrigerator about the size of a dime. I checked to see if any cool air was excapingye and it was not . I called and reported the problem and was assured that I have a I year guarantee if anything develops. I am hoping that I can white tape the area and put up with it.
