ENERGY STAR® Qualified Meets government standards to help conserve natural resources and save money on utility bills.

Temperature Management System Enabled by 6th Sense® Technology The temperature management system enabled by 6th Sense® technology senses and adapts to deliver great cooling performance and food preservation. Adaptive Defrost in the freezer saves up to 12% more energy* by running the defrost cycle only when necessary and monitoring how often the compressor operates and the doors are open. *As compared to previous Whirlpool® top-freezer models with Adaptive Defrost; based on 24-hour interval with refrigerator doors left unopened.

Exterior Filtered Water Dispenser with Electronic Controls The industry's only top freezer refrigerator that minimizes the need for bottled water with an exterior dispenser that offers cold, filtered water without opening the door, while electronic controls make accessing features easy. The flush dispenser and electronic controls also provide a sleek look and are easy to use.

Factory-installed Ice Maker Forget the hassle of trays or bags. An ice maker automatically produces fresh ice that is easily accessible.

FreshFlow™ Air Filter Leave air freshness to your refrigerator, not a box of baking soda. This model's FreshFlow™ air filter reduces common food odors for you. It actively circulates air through our new carbon-based filter and is fifteen times more powerful than baking soda. Replace the filter every 6 months for optimal performance.

FreshFlow™ Produce Preserver Extend the freshness of produce up to 25% longer with the FreshFlow™ Produce Preserver. 1 A filter absorbs excess ethylene gas that causes fruit and vegetables, like lettuce and cantaloupe, to spoil. Replace the filter every 6 months for optimal performance.

Full-width Pantry Store wide items or preserve large amounts of meat and cheese with the industry's largest capacity pantry drawer available 2 .

Contemporary Design Bring a modern look to the kitchen with top freezer refrigerators that feature smooth, contoured doors, hidden hinges and a flush base grille. Select models also feature flush exterior water dispensers for a sleek look.

Tilt-n-Go Door Bin The Tilt-n-Go door bin a great for condiments or a carton of eggs. It holds items securely and can be removed from the refrigerator door and placed on the table or counter.

Adjustable Door Bins Easily customize door storage when and where you need it. Clear bins adjust to accommodate your storage needs.

Fold-away Shelf Make room for tall items. The front of this adjustable shelf slides out of the way creating temporary storage space for containers like a tall 2-liter bottle or a large salad bowl.

Humidity-controlled Crisper Bins Helps you preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables with selectable humidity levels. Two crisper sizes allow for even more customization.

SpillMizer™ Glass Shelves Helps you contain leaks and spills for easier cleanup while the transparent design gives the refrigerator's interior a cleaner, brighter appearance.

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.

So disappointed--wanted to love

TofuForBrains 5/22/2017

I bought this fridge in 2012, and I really loved the design features--the storage space on the door, the water filter/dispenser, the separate lights in the freezer and fridge...well, I'm not sure if I have a lemon, but this model essentially failed 4 years after purchase. First, as others have mentioned, the "meat" (tofu, in my house) drawer is useless. It falls out and barely holds any weight, certainly nowhere near close to capacity. The same thing with the produce drawers, which I found too tiny. The plastic frames in which the drawers fit also snapped with normal use. The water dispenser intermittently stopped working (it started again; can't figure out why. Not a filter issue). The biggest issue is that the fridge stopped cooling entirely, and the freezer defrosts partially when it is full. The fridge is at 50-60 deg F. The freezer is at about 10-20 deg F. I have it cranked up almost all the way. Waiting to see if it can be repaired under warranty or--my preference--replaced with one containing higher-quality components.

This fridge is the best one I have ever bought.

PuraVida49 11/11/2013

I love all of the features this fridge has to offer. I especially like the sliding shelf that goes back half way to make room for very tall pitchers and bottles. I would recommend this fridge to all of my firends and family so they can enjoy it as much as I do.

Great Fridge!

2/8/2013

I'm happy with this fridge the only reason I didn't give it the full 5 on the design was because of a problem we have with most fridges we've had, as well as a lot of others I'm sure..The bottom cover under the door comes off intermittantly because the connection wires at the right corner of the door are a bit tight around the cut out on the cover.I did how ever make the cut out bigger thus resolving the problem,a simple fix.

Ok overall, but meat drawer is a problem

mccarmc4 7/1/2012

We bought this unit because of the top freezer and the water in the door. I wish we had paid more attention to the layout. We go through a lot of milk, so we usually have 2-3 gallons, plus a bottle of wine, water or juice. The only place to put tall items other than the door is at the bottom where the other shelf folds up, but then you block the space behind it. The other major issue is the meat drawer which has been covered in other reviews. It is extremely annoying to have a drawer come out of the hinges over and over again-even when there is very little in there. This is clearly a design defect and I would not recommend this unit.

Great features but terrible meat drawer

S_Ehlers 3/21/2012

Wanted to love this refrigerator and did until the meat drawer was filled. You can not open it without the drawer falling down. Not sure if Whirlpool will have a fix for this but stay away from this one if you plan to use this drawer. This unit replaced another Whirlpool fridge that is 12 years old and still going - so I know it will last; frustration with this issue will determine how long this one lasts.

Brillaint Design for Family Friderators.

Matt247 3/5/2012

Never took the time to write a review on anything, but I am very pleased with this refrigerator. It is perfect for families with kids, alot of room for meats in the drawers. freezer makes ice. But my favorite is the door storage, everyone has probably hated moving 1 gal. milk jugs when going threw the fridge but the side door has 2 1 gal milk jug holders which opens up alot of space for top shelf.Have had this fridge for 8 months and just changed my filter. im really impressed for the money I spent on this energy saving fridge. I find it hard I never thought of how a milk jug holder could make so much room once out of the way and so easy to grab from its compartment...Briliant!
