Q: Is this a no- frost type refrigerator?

A: Please read my review of this fridge. It should be a "no frost" fridge, but in my case, and I suspect in others, based on my reading of the many reviews, there is a fatal flaw in this unit. The auto defrost is performed by a heating loop that sits on top of the coil. Because Whirlpool built this fridge incorrectly, this heating loop melted into the plastic of the roof of my freezer, burning its way all the way to the floor of the fridge above. The loop shorted out, thus losing the auto-defrost feature. Bottom line: DON'T buy this fridge. I see you posted 11 months ago. Hopefully, you purchased something else. Read about my saga with Whirlpool customer service. They were friendly, but ultimately, it was a ruse to do NOTHING to address the issues with their product that were clearly their fault. Avoid this company at all costs.

Q: Is the white finish matte or shiny?

A: Holly, the finish is matte. Hopefully, this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool Appliances!

Q: Can the door open right to left ?

A: Debz, yes, this Refrigerator can open right to left. Hopefully, this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool Appliances!

Q: Is this a pass through type cooling system that supposedly cools both fridge and freezer? Or does the freezer have its own temp setting etc?

A: Hello MammaSue. This Refrigerator is equipped with the TotalCoverage Cooling feature. This feature keeps shelves cold with multi-flow vents that direct fresh, chilled air throughout the refrigerator. The Freezer is also able to be set to its own temperature since it will be much colder than the Refrigerator section. We hope this helps.

Q: How do you set the freezer temperature?

A: Hi! You can find the instructions on how to use the temperature controls beginning on the bottom left of page 10 of the "Owner's Manual" linked here: https://bit.ly/3xTbH2J Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly if you have any further questions! Whirlpool 866-698-2538 M-F 8 AM to 6 PM ET

Q: What type of outlet do I need for this refrigerator ? (worried about prong)

A: Hi XYZicu! This uses a 3 prong plug. The manual states as follows: A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. You can find the full set of requirements for this unit in the Owner's Manual, starting on page 3. Here is the link to that document: https://bit.ly/3xTbH2J Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions at Whirlpool 866-698-2538 M-F 8 AM to 6 PM ET.

Q: Are the doors reversible?

A: Hi, Bunni. Yes, the doors are reversible. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!

    Bad gaskets

    Picked this up, took it home and plugged it in only to find that the doors gaskets had gaps in the door and freezer hinge side. After letting the unit cool down for a day, the freezer had developed ice and condensation on the outside where the gaskets did not seal. Called Whirlpool and they cannot send a technician for 1 month. WOW! Now we have no refigerator.

    Avoid at all costs. Terrible product and service.

    Worst decision I ever made purchasing this fridge. Less than 12 months old and noticed all my meat and dairy going rotten over night. Of course the fridge has no temperature readout so you can tell how cold it is so you have to guess. Called Whirlpool who apologized for the one week wait to have it repaired but assured me it would be taken care of. 1 week later "repair" guy comes out with no parts to repair it. Says he's only there to diagnose. Opens the door agrees that its not cold enough and then says he has no idea when parts will be in stock. Could be 2 weeks...could be more. Nobody knows. I call Whirlpool as I'm annoyed that the call sat for 1 week with no parts ordered. A "manager" doesn't seem interested and said I should buy a big cooler and put ice in it every day and use that as a fridge until whenever parts come in. Insanity. If this is the level of customer service Whirlpool offers I have no idea how they're not out of business by now.

    Broken

    I received a broken refrigerator during this pandemic. I can absolutely say I will never buy an appliance from Best Buy. No one in GeekSquad or Whirlpool seems to want to replace said item. It took two weeks for a technician to come to inspect said appliance only for them to tell me it was unrepairable. On the phone for three hours just for multiple representatives to tell me they can’t do anything. I am literally going broke from eating out for a MONTH! And no one cares. To have this issue during this time has been heartbreaking because I don’t think I’ll be able to make rent this month.
