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.

Buyer beware! Don't waste your money!

Out $800 6/21/2025

What a waste of my hard earned money! Bought this refrigerator brand new at Lowe's 2 years ago and have had nothing but issues since day 1. To start with the freezer door is poorly made and doesn't seal properly, causing the freezer to frost over and stop cooling the fridge. Despite spending over $100 to buy a new seal and having someone out on multiple occasions to try to fix the issue, it boils down to the door itself, so every fix has been temporary. Then out of nowhere the motor is now malfunctioning. For the money I spent, I would certainly expect better quality. Do better, Whirlpool!

Not Impressed

nbb350 5/21/2025

Fridge is noisy - it "howls" when running. VERY annoying. Also, the freezer doesn't keep ice cream hard - I don't want soft serve.

Good but kinda noisy

NickB 5/10/2025

It seems to be keeping cold items cold, and frozen items frozen well enough. BUT, it's kinda noisy. Good thing it's a basement fridge for beverages and pizzas, so we can live with it. I just hope it's not a sign of impending failure!

Unhappy Consumer

Sharon 8/13/2023

I bought this a month ago and the freezer and refrigerator doors do not close tightly!! There are gaps in the gaskets that seal doors tightly! ! Very disappointed with purchase. We are having it serviced this week, couldn™€™t get anyone to come out till then. Because of the gaps, our freezer has frost in upper level and inside of freezer door. The motor seems to be running constantly!!! The food in the back of refrigerator freezes also. We thought we were getting a good Brand name, but maybe there is not such a thing anymore!! Very shoddy work and obviously not inspected properly before leaving factory!!!!

A slight disappointment

Birdbrain 5/13/2023

I wish I hadn™€™t been in such a hurry to desperately need a replacement refrigerator I would™€™ve taken more time to research my pick. I love your brand (I have an over 35 year old chest freezer still going strong so your brand was a no brainer but I had many more features in my last Kenmore that I don™€™t get in the Whirlpool one of which is a light in the freezer which I miss so much. My old one was a bottom freezer top refrigerator and I loved that setup but switched to top freezer type. I regret switching. If I could return the new one in exchange for a bottom freezer I would in a second, but I™€™ll have to live with that decision. Otherwise it seems like it™€™s going to be an ok purchase.
