Noisy compressor and frequent cycling
on February 28, 2019

from San Jose, CA
Bought Dec, 20 2018. It ran fine for 1st month and now the compressor kicks in less than every 2 hour (something like 1 hour 30 min) and it runs for 40 mins. (The temperature were set at 37 and 0 as default) The motor has high pitch sound that drive us insane. Other than it has big capacity which is great and stainless finish – but it is a lemon for sure. It is worse than our previous 25 years old refrigerator made by Whirlpool. Should have kept using that good old one :( Highly "NOT Recommended "
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Eric TT - Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your refrigerator. The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating. Also, you may hear a Whir sound when the fans spin at high speeds (this usually happens after the doors have been open for a while).
Additionally, new refrigerators do run for longer periods of time than older models. Current refrigerator compressors are designed to run more than 80% to 90% of the time. More information about run time is contained in the link below. If you feel this information does not adequately describe what you are noticing, service should check it.
This is the first time I've ever made a large appliance purchase and I'm SO happy with this product. Having a family of four means we need plenty of room and easy, high quality function. This refrigerator offers a large amount of room in both the fridge and the freezer. Because of the spacing of our kitchen, this was the only style that would really work for us, and ideally we wanted the bottom mount freezer. We have had it a week and couldn't be happier!
In December I retired my old Fridge sent it to the garage and bought a new one I Love So Much I can see everything it’s eaiser to keep clean and remove the out dated stuff it’s bright and efficient and the ice maker WOW
