Q: My fresh flow makes a very loud rattle/buzzing noise when its running. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

A: yes, mine does too and i hate this refrig. it makes that noise and more elsewhere. piece of junk.

Q: Can I order an extra shelf for the freezer? If so, can you please send me a link to the page?

A: The shelves are so ridiculously priced. I ended up just buying .22 inch thick plexiglass and putting white trim on it for $20. Lowes can cut it for you or you can order it online

Q: How many shelves in the freezer? Can I purchase additional shelves?

A: There are 4 shelves if you count the one on the bottom drawer. You can technically add 3 more shelves but I found that adding 2 was more practical. If you add one of the potential shelves you would only leave a few inches to store items, so I didn’t add a shelf there. You can purchase online at several online appliance stores. I waited until I received the fridge before ordering shelves so I knew exactly what size to get because depending on the location the sizes are different.

Q: Water from dispenser is room temp is there something wrong ?

A: Ours is also room temp from water dispenser. I'm not sure their product said chilled water. I'm just happy it's filtered. Hit the crushed/cubed ice first, then water, it's all good...

Q: what color are the sides, there are no side photos.

A: The sides of this refrigerator are a bit darker shade of grey.

Q: Does this model use a water filtration cartridge? And if yes, what size do I buy?

A: Yes, this refrigerator uses the Whirlpool - EveryDrop 1 Ice and Water Filter (model EDR1RXD1).
