[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this after looking at reviews. My refrigerator never stops making a loud noise.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from whirlpool.comBy Branded Team, Consumer Care, March 24, 2026
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us! We're genuinely sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with your Whirlpool® Refrigerator. We're committed to providing the best support, and we'd love to discuss your experience further and see how we can help.
Modern, high-efficiency refrigerators are designed to run longer than older models. Their compressors operate at varying speeds for extended periods to optimize energy and temperature regulation.
If you are concerned about your refrigerator running too much, here are key areas to check:
Location and Ventilation
Ensure the refrigerator is installed indoors, away from heat sources (like an oven or radiator).
It should be in a location with an ambient temperature between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C).
Verify there is sufficient space around the sides and top for proper air circulation; do not block the base grille or install behind a cabinet door.
Recent Changes
The motor will run longer for 24 to 48 hours after initial installation or after adding a large amount of new food/beverages. This is normal until temperatures stabilize.
Usage and Settings
Limit how frequently the doors are opened, as this causes the internal temperature to rise and the motor to run more often.
Confirm that the temperature controls are set correctly, typically at the factory "mid setting." Setting controls too low will increase the run time unnecessarily.
If you need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out to us through any of the following options:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whirlpoolusa/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whirlpoolusa/
Live Chat: https://www.whirlpool.com/services/contact-us.html (Tuesday - Friday, 8 AM - 6 PM ET)
USA Customer Service: 1-800-253-1301 (Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 6 PM ET)
When you respond, please include your contact information and reference Case # 938038.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Fantastic refrigerator freezer side by side.

from Beverly, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old one was a 26 cu ft refer. My new one which was the same style but 28 cu ft.
Working perfectly and I am enjoying the extra room inside. They made the doors larger to do it. Love the newer lighting design. The stainless steel doors look amazing.

To loud!
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Jim - Disabled Veteran
from Pittsburg, Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is loud. When it is running, it makes a loud humming noise. I had a GE for over 15 years before I bought this one, and it was ten times quieter than this new one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great features!

from Conway, SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this refrigerator as a replacement after I saw my sister and BIL purchase of the same refrigerator. Love the lighting inside both the refrigerator and freezer. Smudge and fingerprint resistant. More spacious than my original refrigerator and love the drawers in the refrigerator. Great purchase and was on sale at the time of my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!
