Comment:
Less than six months old and I woke this morning to find water on my new hardwood floors under and in front of the refrigerator. Phoned Whirlpool to schedule a service call and was told earliest they could get here is two weeks from today!!! Will Whirlpool pay to replace my hardwood floors in the ktichen? I begged the woman on the phone to find another company and she had to leave a message for them to phone me, as no one answered the phone. ???I don't understand where the water is coming from, as my husband hasn't gotten around to hooking up the water supply yet. I am so sick of paying for junk [...]!
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months

Comment:
Replaced it after about a week. I bought this based on the consumer reports score. However, once the fridge arrived we quickly found out its noisy. It was 3-6dB louder than our old fridge. In human perception that works out to be about twice as loud. Also, we found the interior space to be small, seemingly less than our old side-by-side. The final straw was that the left door often didn't get shut all the way because you have to push a little hard to make it close right. Everyone in the family left the door open at least once, and there is no alarm to notify you the door is open. We also found having the water dispenser on the inside to be an inconvenience. Other than that its probably a fine model.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
