    Extended warranty... You're going to need it

    The more reviews I read regarding Whirlpool top mount refrigerators, the more I regret buying this refrigerator and not purchasing the extended warranty. We purchased this refrigerator in October 2021 and it was delivered in March 2022, 2 1/2 years later we had to junk it. Whirlpool's 2-5 year limited warranty on sealed systems do not cover top mount refrigerators, only french door bottom mount and side-by-side refrigerators, so disappointing. I will no longer be purchasing Whirlpool appliances or recommending Whirlpool to my friends and family, this also goes for their other brands as well. Issues with this refrigerator started when we noticed temperature changes in the refrigerator section, with everything freezing from milk to meats, and we also noticed the temperature in the freezer section increasing, the ice cream was like a milk shake. Following the troubleshooting guide we adjusted the air control, waited the 24 hours with no change. We adjusted the temperature control, again waited the 24 hours, with only little change in the refrigerator section. After a week things got worse, both sections were warmer than normal, the refrigerator between 40 and 50 degrees (see photos), and the freezer between 20 and 30 degrees (see photos). Scheduled a Whirlpool service call to have a technician take a look at the refrigerator, the tech concluded that it was due to low charge, and most likely a leak in the sealed system. Where the coolant comes into the condenser coil was frozen over and the majority of the coil had no frost (see photos), which is all the tech needed to see to diagnose the issue. The technician estimated that the cost to fix it would be around the price of a new refrigerator. So disappointed.

    My original refrigerator was delivered December 15, 2021 and stopped working in 2 days. The freezer had 2 inches of ice and the refrigerator was not cold. So I had to buy a beverage cooler to make due til my 2nd refrigerator was delivered In January 2022, When this was delivered it had a huge dent!! But this is working ok, So hopefully when my 3rd new refrigerator gets delivered in APRIL10, 2022 it will be good. Never will I go to Best Buy again!
