[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this refrigerator delivered 8 days ago. Four days ago, the ice dispenser broke. Specifically, while trying to get crushed ice, my wife heard a loud grinding. When we removed the ice cube reservoir inside the door, we found that a plastic ring at the base of the unit had broken into several small pieces. I believe a metal cylinder fit inside this ring. It was very disappointing to say the least. Service team from Massillon Home Appliance is coming tomorrow to try to repair our brand new refrigerator. (everything else works fine).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my new whirlpool refrigerator. So far I like it. The only thing that bothers me is that it is a bit noisy when the fan is running. Not used to that. Hopefully I will get to the point that I don’t notice it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a little over 1 month. Like many other reviews, the water does not get cold enought. The coldest water temp I have measured is 58 degrees. I think this could be solved with a stainless steel tube instead of the plastic one. The ice and water dispenser levers seem to be hard to operate. Still haven't found the right positioning to actuate the levers. Other than that, we are well satisfied with the features and performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I truly wanted to give this refrigerator a 5 star but it is the noisiest appliance I have EVER owned. It sounds like when my brothers put hard plastic in the spokes of their bike wheels as kids. It also buzzes. When I called about it, I was told that others reported it sounding like an airplane taking off. I could have a repairman come out at my expense if they found no problem. I personally feel the annoying noise of the appliance is THE problem. Why sell a product with a known issue? Otherwise, I love everything else about the refrigerator. Put a silencer on it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Food isn't cold enough at default setting (37 degrees). Changed it to 36 and food against the back wall freezes. Doesn't have a covered dairy shelve on the door. Measured fill doesn't work. Our old refrigerator displayed how much was being dispensed. Much more convenient.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the ample storage space. It has more room than our previous appliance. The ice machine seems to produce cubes more quickly as well.
