So Disappointed!
I've had this fridge almost 1 year. Still dealing with frozen food in the refrigerated section. Many repairmen have been out here with all kinds of excuses. No matter how they set the controls, either the freezer doesn't freeze if they turn it so the regular food doesn't freeze or the freezer freezes & so does regular food. The last repairman told me I had too much food in it. I took out & used a lot of the food, still doing the same old thing! They changed out water & that didn't help. We are also dealing with damaged doors because they had ordered 3 sets to replace these & still can't get them in new ones that are not damaged. So disappointed as I have supported Whirlpool for years.

    Unlucky consumer
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no way to balance the fridge, no adjustable legs. For putting pieces of wood under the fridge. Which would have to be done again w You move it back. I quess whirlpool assumes all floors are level. The doors also creak like a haunted house’s door. Too much saving profits

      Good Refrigerator, delivery damaged kitchen floor
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Refrigerator has a butter compartment, 1/2 meat drawer which is exactly what I wanted. I don't like thge location of the light in the refrigerator section, it is in the middle in the front and gets in the way of tall items such as 2 liter soda bottles. Also would like to have more adjustment control of temperature instead of 4 preset settings. Freezer keeps food below 32 degrees F. Working very well.

        Best Value and for a reasonable price
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the best value for the price. Also, we didn’t need or want all the unnecessary gadgets

            Mfg defect
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Poorly assembled. Doors on both freezer and refrigerator had excess glue and looked hideous

              decent refrigerator, but it makes a loud gurgling
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it a few months ago and it seems to work OK… But it makes a loud gurgling noise when the compressor is on. I don’t think it should be doing that. It’s pretty loud and it doesn’t seem like it supposed to do something like that.

                Quiet running fridge.
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packed well, good and heavy. Cools fast, well lit.

                  Poor assembly
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keeps my food cold, and my ice cream is frozen, but the door doesn’t fit very well. There’s a gap at the top of the refrigerator door right by the handle.

                    Basic refrigerator
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t sure I would like the refrigerator when I first got it. I have had it for a week and I just love it! I had always favored Whirlpool appliances anyway. My previous refrigerator was a GE and it was 22 years old. It was a great refrigerator. We never had any repairs done on it in all of that time. I hope we can get many years of use with this one!

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i’ve only had this refrigerator for a week and a half now, but I really like it a lot! The interior is very roomy, both refrigerator and freezer. I would recommend this to anyone who’s on a bit of a budget.

                        Runs louder than we like.
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason for 4 stars is that it seems to make too much noise when running. Much louder than our prior Whirlpool. Other than that, we have been happy with the refrigerator. It was very hard to change the door opening from right to left. The screw holes for the handles were tough and appeared to not line up well.

                          Really happy with our purchase
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we are very impressed by this refrigerator. We didn't need anything fancy or smart, just a solid basic refrigerator and this fits the bill! When our garage fridge dies we will purchase another one of these.

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great basic refrigerator!! The only reason that I did not rate it a 5 out of 5 was because it doesn’t have an ice-maker!

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very happy with our new refrigerator. There is plenty of storage space and it’s easy to see what’s in each section. The temperature settings keep food cold and fresh.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this purchase. Fits well and looks good in my smaller kitchen. The recommended setting seems colder than the recommended setting on the old fridge which is a good thing. You can purchase an optional ice maker if desired. And, this was a must for us due to kitchen layout, the handles are reversible.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this Refrigerator for our garage fridge. Our other Whirlpool went out after 20 plus years. This one is not as robust on its build but serve us well for its intended use.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It would be a 5 star if I could control the temperature more. I'd like to control the freezer & refrigerator temp separately.

                                            Nice refrigerator.
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this refrigerator to replace a very old one in my basement. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy with a lot of bells and whistles, or too expensive. This was a perfect fit. The only problem was the refrigerator door didn’t close properly. Called for repair, had new hinges put on, problem solved.

It can fit in a short space and still give ample room. I rated it three stars because it would come with the availability to hook up an ice maker easily but it does not have the pump and water line that makes ice maker addition easy.
