    • Refrigerator Style: Side-by-Side
    • Dual Evaporation: true (A cooling system that works to create a stable climate for the refrigerator and freezer separately.

Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

Q: I don't see the fridge listed as white ice on the whirlpool site, only white. I would like to verify that the color is truly white ice. Thank you. Whirlpool - 19.9 CU ft side by side counter depth refrigerator. wrs970cidh

A: Hi Verifycolor, thank you for your inquiry. The model shown here on the Best Buy website is White Ice. The unit itself is true white with stainless steel handles. We do hope this helps!

Q: What are the dimensions of this?

A: The dimensions of this product are as follows: Height 69 inches Width 36 inches Depth 31.13 inches

Q: Are the freezer shelves adjustable? If so, can I purchase additional freeze shelves?

A: Hi ruthie. There are 3 adjustable Freezer Shelves. We cannot recommend adding Freezer Shelves because the Refrigerator is made to certain specifications and adding shelving and then adding food to that can put extra weight on the cabinet.
