Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)RUN, do NOT walk away from this refrigerator. Believe all of these reviews and PLEASE do not waste your money! After tons of research, I'm so regretting my purchase.
What I originally liked about the fridge and why I chose it:
Ice maker is in the door, leaving good space open on fridge shelves.
Has pull out water dispenser for tall glasses and/or sport bottles (nozzle that turns out)
Nice finish
It's a Whirlpool...sure it's expensive but it'll be worth it, right?Icemaker:
Makes very little ice at a time. I saw that issue in another review, but didn't think anything of it because I don't use ice much. The ice maker is so small that it is always VERY loudly making ice. Then the ice melts together into one blob (!)and will barely dispense out...in actual cubes anyway. The left door with the w/ice maker in it is very heavy so within seconds after you open it, it comes right back onto you. This makes it next to impossible to use the deli drawer, since both doors have to be open to pull the drawer out.
Door:
To keep the door from closing in, have tried re-leveling, etc nothing works. The techs who set it up said that it happened to them too. Thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but is actually very annoying trying to hold it open if you need two hands to get stuff out/in the fridge, and it folds in on you. I find myself using the right door only...may as well have my old have my side-by-side back (it was 16 years old and far bypasses this fridge in all aspects)
Motor:
We're on our second fridge in one month because the first one was making strange, loud, whiny-whirring noises each time it cycled on and off. Well, now the second fridge is also doing it. Definitely doesn't sound normal. Of course it's passed the time I can return it now.
Interior:
Compared to other fridges, the shelves and drawers are very plastic-y, cheapish with, rough-edged plastic shelves/drawers..don't look like they'll hold up long.
Finish:
maybe this is the issue with all stainless appliances? No matter what special cleaner I buy for it, the fridge is left with smear marks. Don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong there.
Water Dispenser:
Okay, so the ONLY thing that I like about this fridge is the cool programmable water dispenser. Can allocate three different ounce volumes to fill a glass/bottle. It turns itself off after reaching chosen ounce size.
So, I guess what I essentially have in my kitchen is a $2,200.00 water dispenser!
I don't write many reviews on all the products I buy, but I am making a point to on this fridge because I want to warn others NOT to spend this kind of money on something that in NO way lives up to what quality it should be. There are plenty of other options out there. Samsung for one seems to do really well. Hard to believe that Whirlpool can sell these fridges in good conscience. It's too late for me but not for you :-) Good luck
