Whirlpool - 21.7 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator - Black

Bought this fridge after my Amana fridge with bottom freezer bit the dust after 16 Years. I never really liked the bottom freezer as I could not fine anything and the drawer slide stuck so if something fell behind I could not open the drawer far enough to remove it. I decided that I had enough years with a bottom freezer so I decided to go with a side by side. I like the fact that you can see all your food in the fridge and freezer area without much of a problems. There are a few draw backs to this fridge though. First the selves in the fridge it’s self are not adjustable. The top shelf is just tall enough to put a gallon of milk. I have a water pitcher for filtered water and it is to tall to put on any shelf so I have to put it in the door, which is not very convenient. (The door shelves are adjustable ). The other thing is that there is space in back of the shelves that is open and small items can fall down. This space can be a plus if you are trying to fit in leftover containers but you have to be careful what you put in the back of the shelf. The freezer shelves are adjustable to a point but the shelves are slotted and you need to place most things flat . Thin items can fall into the slots. It is also an adjustment going from a fridge with full width to the side by side but we are adjusting. The other thing is that this fridge had a dent in the top of the freezer door when it was unpackaged at the time of delivery. I am still waiting for a replacement to come in ( 2 months and counting). I’ve been told that they are on back order from Whirlpool.

I purchased this Fridge in May as I was updating a 50 year old kitchen. I wanted side by side and I didnt want an ice maker. Hard to find that combination. Whirlpool and Maytag both had similar models. Due to the pandemic, the Maytag was not longer available:( So I got the Whirlpool. Both good reputable brand names. Looks nice , but OMG smudges so easy:(( Im constantly cleaning the doors:(( It works fine. BUT a couple of weeks ago I opened the freeze and saw a crack on the bottom of the freezer ??? WHAT?? I asked my husband if he knew about it, he had no clue, he has dementia:(( OMG. Why is that freezer liner so fragile?????????????? thats insane!! I called Whirlpool and they sent a tech to come out and look at it. He has seen this before he said. :((( He was told to put putty over the crack:(( REALLY. ??? The putty is NOT WHITE and now theres that starring at me everytime I open the FREEZER:((((((((( Brand new freezer, looks like crap... IM so dissappointed in the quality!! I did write to whirlpool no response yet. :(((((((((((((((( We are in our 70's I cant really go out and buy a new fridge now:((((

We have had this refrigerator for over a week now and are very pleased with it. Very quiet when the motor is running. Spacious and the lighting inside is super. Keeps food cold and frozen in both compartments and is a huge energy saver. Well worth the money!
