Multipoint White LED Lights These energy efficient lights enhance the appearance of your food by casting a more natural light and they illuminate from the front, reducing shadows.

Largest Crisper The largest side-by-side crisper fits 85 apples and is humidity controlled to help preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables.

Temperature Management Enabled by 6th Sense™ Technology Built-in sensors automatically adjust cooling to return existing food to the desired temperature in half the time.

Hidden Hinges Create a sleek, smooth appearance on the exterior of contoured door side-by-side refrigerators. These hinges also make for easier, cleaner installation below cabinetry.

Adaptive Defrost This model's Adaptive Defrost saves more energy by monitoring when the compressor is running and defrosts only when necessary, resulting in improved food preservation and energy savings.

Convertible meat and vegetable compartment Customize the temperature of this compartment to prevent food from going bad prematurely. Open the slot and let cool air in from the freezer to preserve meats or close the opening to keep vegetables fresh.

And Satina's streamlined, sleek surfaces are easy to clean with mild soap and water, so making them look like new does not require special cleaners, no matter how many hands open the doors. Satina® Stainless Look Finish: - Sophisticated look of stainless steel without the maintenance - Fingerprints are less visible, magnets work on the surface - Easy to clean with ordinary window cleaner

Glass freezer shelves Redesigned shelves hold various sized items and are easy to clean. Continuous glass surface prevents small items from slipping through the cracks like on wire shelves.

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.

Never Again

11/23/2016

Following four visits for repair the fifth repairman claimed that if anything this machine worked too good. The the seals all had to be inflated with additional packing to prevent drafts since the doors didn't seal, the refrigerator portion has ice no matter the time of year or the temperature of the interior of our home, the machine leaks onto the floor, it's noisy and if I could dump it at the front door of Whirlpool in protest of their products I would in a hot second. After issues with other Whirlpool appliance it's safe to say I'll never purchase Whirlpool again.

ABSOLUTLEY LOVE MY REFIGERATOR!!

lewy75 8/15/2013

I have bought a few refrigerators before, and my whirlpool gold series has to be the best one I've ever owned!!I love I can set the exact temp for the freezer and the fridge. It has the 6th sense feature which is great!! My kids like to open the door and shop, and I like the fact I know I'm not losing to much cold air when they do this. The water and ice both come out crystal clear thanks to the PUR water filter. Also I never have bad smells thanks to the baking soda air filter.I would totally recommend this whirlpool product to anyone looking for a great refrigerator!!!

Overall, a good fridge.

Tom7 3/12/2013

Our only complaint is that if you open the fridge door it shuts off the ice and water dispensers. Kinda of a nuisance. Otherwise we like it and it looks nice in stainless.

We had a Whirlpool refrigerator before this one that lasted 30 years. They say I won't get that out of this but I will try. We are very pleased so far. The layout is really good for our use.
