[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came with the new build. Ice maker was broke. Had to call service immediately. Now it takes forever and doesn't make enough.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our GE frig lasted 22 years and within that time we replaced the ice maker twice, but other than that, it performed as expected until the compressor died.
Unfortunately, the same GE frig was not available, therefore, we opted to purchase the Whirlpool (1030901 24.6 cu. ft. side by side) due to the similar configuration/doors and the price point.
We have been using the Whirlpool for 3 weeks and thus far it keep everything cool in the frig and frozen in the freezer using the recommended settings. Regretfully, the compressor/operation noise is about twice that of the GE which we find extremely annoying.
The ice maker works fine and dispenses standard cubes without hesitation; however, when attempting to get crushed ice the unit is laboring extremely to crush the ice and makes horrible noises. Also, occasionally it throws the storage container into such a bind due to the torque it locks up the ice auger and requires difficult removal of the ice storage container. This is another thing we find extremely annoying!
It is my opinion if the ice maker lasts six months I will be impressed and time can only tell the overall performance and longevity of the unit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought almost three months ago. Cools great but has an extremely loud hum most of the time and so I’ve schedule a repair already.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this refrigerator for a few months. It doesn’t come with a deli drawer and the water filter isn’t easy to access.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time owning a whirlpool refrigerator. It's the perfect size and I love the separate water and ice dispenser.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Refrigerator came with our new house. We've already had issues 3 times in month with water dispenser not working for 2-3 days at a time for no apparent reason. Also is very loud running at night.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recent purchase & installation (10/18/2024) so rating is on first impressions Great value. Have successfully owned previous Whirlpool refrigerator for 13.5 years so wanted to replace it with another Whirlpool product. So far, am pleased with my decision. Looks good, functioning well. The only thing that is a bit bothersome is the metallic/slightly chemical taste to the water from the dispenser which may be due to the new hose connecting water source to refrigerator. I’ve run at least 8 gallons of water through to start, but water still retains slight metallic taste. My previous Whirlpool refrigerator used Everydrop filter 3 and the water was wonderfully tasteless. This new model uses Everydrop 1. Wrong manual came with the new refrigerator.
I would recommend this to a friend!
