Q: What is the total capacity of the refrigerator?

A: The total capacity of this refrigerator is 20.6 cubic feet.

Q: What type of lighting is used in the refrigerator?

A: This Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator uses LED lighting.

Q: Are there any special features for storing dairy products?

A: This Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator has a dairy center.

Q: How much energy does the refrigerator consume annually?

A: This refrigerator uses an estimated 654 kilowatt hours annually.

Q: What are the dimensions of the refrigerator?

A: The Whirlpool refrigerator is 36 inches wide, 68 7/8 inches tall, and has a depth of 29 3/4 inches.

Q: Why does this refrigerator constantly run?

A: Hello Chris! Newer refrigerators have smaller, more powerful, high-speed compressors that generally cost less to operate than those in older refrigerators. These compressors are designed to run 80 % to 90% of the time. This makes them more energy efficient because the greatest amount of energy used when the compressor cycles on. We hope this helps. Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.

Q: Can I replace the LED lights in the refrigerator and freezer sections with incandescent bulbs (standard 40 watt appliance bulbs)? I find the LED lights too bright. If I can’t use incandescent bulbs, is there a way to dim the LED lights? Thank you.

A: I too found the fridge LEDs too bright. I slid the plastic cover off and placed a piece of aluminum foil inside. Then slid the cover back. It's now perfect. Not glaring bright anymore.

Q: Are the handles closer to a chrome or a brushed nickel sheen?

A: The handles are a silver color (like stainless) and are brushed. It looks as a nice accent color and matches the range handles. Definitely not chrome. BTW the color of the Bronze is subtle. It depends the time of day and where the sun hits it. I have a cream color cabinet and they look fabulous.

    Counter Depth love!

    Super functional and gorgeous! Counter Depth doesn’t stick out into your kitchen like a sore thumb!

    Excellent Counter Depth Fridge

    The overall quality of this fridge is great. The only qualm I have with it is the lighting on the inside seems pretty cheap and oddly located. The measuring water dispenser is a nice function but it's not even remotely accurate.

    A good refrigerator for the price

    Our family is very happy with our new refrigerator. Best features: bright lights, easy to clean ice and water dispenser, preset measurements for water dispenser, large roomy shelves width wise. Worst features: No butter compartment!, a little noisier than our last fridge, shelves are short front to back. Maybe not such a bad thing because food doesn’t get hidden and forgotten deep in the back. Overall a good product.
