Nice Refrigerator with Ample Inside Lighting
on July 22, 2026
Posted by: Craig T.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had our new "side by side" fridge for about a month now ... What I like best about it is how nice and bright it is on the inside and all the shelves that allows us to find everything easily ... What I don't like is the ice dispenser freezes up on a daily basis ... So when we want to get some ice from the door dispenser, we open the freezer door, bang the ice container a few times, shut the door, and try to fill our glass with ice ... The dispenser is very finicky, sometimes we get the amount of ice we want, other times we have to push on the release lever multiple times ...Hopefully the repair person who is coming tomorrow can resolve the issue ...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I am pleased with the purchase. I thought I wouldn't need the ice maker, but I tend to use it much more than I thought. I did buy an air filter, which comes in handy so there are no smells. I also bought a device for my crisper drawer to keep food longer. It is perfect for my household. For the most part, the only time I hear the refrigerator is when it is about ready to make ice. So far I am happy with the purchase and glad for the side by side, especially so I can find things in the freezer (vs. my last one that was a bottom loading freezer and hard to find things.) I bought a thermometer for the freezer and refrigerator and show that the temperatures for each are pretty much right on target with what the frig/freezer states. Thumbs up!

Whirlpool Side By Side Refrigerator
on July 22, 2026
Posted by: RCA!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this side by side after a bad experience with a Samsung model and ice maker issues. I love the styling, color and modern look of my Whirlpool side by side refrigerator, the adjustable door bins as well as the shelfs. I purchased Whirlpool brand because of the reliability ratings. The rest of my kitchen appliances are also all Whirlpool

It’s a Nice Refrigerator with a Couple of Caveats
on July 22, 2026
Posted by: BanditoB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, the refrigerator is very nice but has three issues that affect its usability and score. There was not a display model for us to look at, so we bought it based on its features, capacity, and price and couldn’t have checked on these issues beforehand.
First, the switches on the water and ice dispensers are quite difficult to press and take a lot of pressure to activate. It sometimes feels like you might break the drinking glass because you have to press so hard to trigger them.
Second, we really miss not having a covered shelf in the top of the refrigerator door. This is much more useful than an open bin that you have to reach into from above when it is already at quite a high height.
Third, we only use cubed ice and the ice dispenser is really sloppy and throws ice chips out all over the place onto the dispenser door shelf and onto the floor. You must hold the glass as high as possible under the ice dispenser opening to reduce the spread of ice, but even doing this, some ice still escapes and makes a bit of a mess.
These are relatively minor issues, but they do impact the refrigerator’s daily use. We have mostly adjusted to these idiosyncrasies but would be completely happy with the appliance if they didn’t exist.
I would recommend this to a friend!

MY NEW WHIRLPOOL REFRIGERATOR
on July 22, 2026
Posted by: Gogi2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 24 hrs., only 3 trays of ice were harvested; 1st reaction was, is this another Whirlpool refrigerator that won't make ice as the 4 year old one, that we got rid of; no service repair facility could repair it. After 48 hrs. the storage container was full of ice.
Temperature seems to be consistent.
Disappointed that the freezer only had 1 drawer; advertisement photo was deceiving to me; the old refrigerator had 2 drawers. Doesn't look like there is an option to order another drawer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent and convenient storage. Refer will hold a large Domino's pizza box and the drawers are perfect for produce, cheese, snacks, anything at all! Location of ice maker in freezer gives plenty of space for food. I absolutely love this fridge!
