Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Ice maker issues

Esmeralda 4/8/2016

Purchased this refrigerator November 2001 and have to have it repaired on 3 different occasions. The first was an I stallation issue shortly after delivery. Then in 2013, we had to have the water valve assembly replaced.In February, 2016, the ice maker stopped working and the extended warranty company has sent a repairman on three different occasions. Today he order more parts and now we have to miss work yet again when he comes back in two weeks. Hopefully he will be able to fix it then,; don't imagaine there are too many ice maker parts left!Also the bottom tray freezes anything on the right side.

I bought this item a few months ago for our home to go with our other black Whirlpool appliances. It looks fantastic and works great. I like all the features and it is really quiet.

nice product

7/3/2014

side by side freezer too small because of width and large ice maker. Have to stack food vertical in order to maximize space efficiency. Water filter order reminder came on after just 1/2 used. had to reset to get rid of the reminder. Ice dispenser too noisy and slow.

Plenty of space inside.

11/8/2013

The refrigerator portion is extremely roomy. I ordered two extra shelves - one for the freezer side and one for the refrigerator side. I could still fit in another shelf with ample room left over. Overall, I give it an A+ rating.

Just one thing...

3/30/2013

Love this fridge and bought it along with a Whirlpool stove and dishwasher. It looks great and the features are nice. My one complaint is the stainless steel scratches so easy. The stove and dishwasher seem to be less sensitive to scratching. I am continuously wiping it down and trying to polish out scratches.

so far, so good

3/17/2012

We have had the refrigerator for a little over a month and we are quite happy with it. I can finally see what's in the fridge! So much got hidden in our old GE. It seems to fit everything.the downsides are: the ice machine is not so efficient. Perhaps because it is on the door and not as cold as the interior, the ice cubes join with each other. This may be because were are not using so much ice in the winter. Also, we kept the old GE in the garage, so large and heave items are put in it.The doors are quite beautiful (stainless) and the handle matches my new Frigidaire perfectly. I do not find it hard to clean at all.
