Great big fridge
on May 28, 2026

We purchased this after our Kitchen Aid fridge of 14 years crapped out. We needed a white fridge with water/ice as well as a spacious one. Pros: *Spacious, lots of room on the shelves. *Lots of shelves on the door, one is almost hidden under the ice maker. *The freezer drawer is spacious. *The delivery of this fridge was great. The delivery people understood that the doors needed to be taken off to get it in the door and they put it together promptly. *While the fridge is big, it doesn't seem to take up too much space, the doors seem flatter than our previous ones and the handles are nice and matte (not glossy). *The filter is in an easy to find location and easy to change. *Doors open nice and wide *Doors will stay open by themselves and not close on you; which is pro & con. Sometimes we think we closed the door but it was still open and needs to be pushed shut.
Cons: *Veggie/fruit drawers seem a little smaller than before, but that may be to increase shelf space. *I wish the ice/water maker was side by side instead. The space between the water spout and the water button is tight. To avoid splashes, I push the water button with one hand and use my other to hold the cup under the water button so it falls in the middle. When I push it with the cup (especially ones with thicker lips), the water will drip behind the cup. *I wish the door shelves had a liner of sorts; our old one had rubber ones that had little tabs on the sides that I could use to take them out. *I wish the ice/water maker had an auto fill option (you could say if you wanted 8oz, 10oz etc) & it would auto fill for you (our previous one had it and it was a nice feature). *You can't arrange the shelves in a different configuration. *You must open the doors all the way in order to fully extend the deli drawer
All in all, we're very happy with this fridge. Some of my "cons" are more so that I hope the powers that be see them and do better for the next batch of designs.
The fridge leaks water into the fruit and vegetable bin. The service tech said he sees water but doesn't know where it is coming from. The Whirlpool Tech told the service tech the fridge is functioning as designed. Very disappointing product. Not even a year old and I have to put a paper towel between the wall of the fridge and the fruit and vegetable to prevent the water from collecting in the bin.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has more room inside than our previous french door refrigerator. Am enjoying the cheese/deli drawer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Main doors upper unit do not close smoothly. One must exert considerable force to ensure door gets sealed. Lack of an instruction manual and support assistance is bad PR
