7 Years and Compressor Goes Out?!?

Purchased this thru Costco seven years ago. Discovered that the compressor stopped working. Another example of 'planned obsolescence'.

When we bought our home, the refrigerator was already here - I guess since 2007. We have nothing but good things to say about it! Many of our friends have purchased newer refrigerators and all have had problems with their ice makers, at the minimum, no matter the brand. Our ice maker is amazing. We are thinking of replacing it solely to have stainless steel and all appliances matching, but that's not due to the appliances not working - solely aesthetic. Also, we have a 1950 Hotpoint that still works amazingly, so maybe it's just our luck! :)

I purchased this refrigerator about 10 years ago when I bought my new home. I am experiencing the fridge and the freezer being warm and came home to water on the floor this week. i was thinking 10 years isn't the average lifetime of a new appliance and was hoping to find some answers here on whether to fix or replace. I need and,want at least another 4 years.

Ice Maker and Water Tubes
Tara King
6/1/2018
Its lasted 15 years, but during that time had to replace the icemaker twice, now it is frosting under the icemaker. I am going to replace the gasket to see if that helps. But after owning the refrigerator for only a year, the tubes for the water dispenser disintegrated inside the door and I have not been able to use the water dispenser. That was the biggest reason we bought the refrigerator, so we would be able to drink cold water and have it convenient for our kids. I would have reviewed it sooner, but I didn't come across this site until I had to look for a gasket for the door. The refrigerator door will not stay shut and even though the gasket looks good I think it's given up on life!!! It wasn't a terrible refrigerator, but not having the water option was a great disappointment for the last 14 years.

Worst Ice Dispenser Design in History

This ice dispenser that is on many other models of whirlpool side by side never works. Instantly freezes up, won't dispense ice, and the release to remove the dispenser and empty it latch never works. Do not buy this refrigerator.

Ice maker issues
7/22/2017
We got this fridge in the purchase of our home and it has been great... until the ice maker door panel mount broke and the part apparently is not available anymore (mount is connected to back plate, terrible design). The freezer is not remaining sealed due to the ice maker door not staying in place. Right now we have it wedged in place but this will not hold and I do not want to replace the fridge because of something so tiny and stupid. Surely there is some kind of repair kit out there for this.

I bought my frig approximately 2008 - single person not abusive - had the ice maker repaired - now the tubing pop holes constantly so I get to use ice cube trays - sometimes have issues with low temperature in frig but bounces back to OK temp - would not recommend it and would not buy a Whirlpool - would like toknow what "brands" are made by Whirlpool - will say the inside i.e. shelves etc have not broken - in great shape - if only the freezer and frig worked well -

Bought it new and a few months after the warranty was up, one of the $.50 light bulbs failed and shorted which burned out the $200 computer. Found the wire for the bulbs and added an inline fuse that should have been there on the initial design. The ice maker failed after a few years so just removed it and discarded it. The port between the freezer and refrigerator compartment iced up several times requiring removal of all food and defrosting the whole unit for several hours.

Great refrigerator

This was installed in a new townhouse that I recently bought. A friend was helping me move into the kitchen and she said, "you'll never get everything that you had in your old fridge into this one". Soon, all was stashed with room to spare. It is a beautiful appliance with roomy shelves that accommodate tall items. Having an ice maker and a water dispenser is new for me & is a pleasure to use.

8/26/2016
I bought this in 2010. I had to get the icemaker fixed twice since them because the tray wouldn't fill with water and it constantly dripped. Both repairs cost me over $200 each. The ice makers is not working again but we refuse to pay to get it fixed. Today it just died. The light works fine but it isn't cold. I've lost hundreds of dollars of food. Also, since the water constantly dripped onto the drip tray under the ice maker, the tray discolored. Nothing I used would get the tray clean. So disappointed in this whilrpool. Can't believe I will need to buy a new refrigerator after only 7 years and over $500 in repairs. Total waste of money.

We purchased this fridge to put in our home right before we moved out. We were renting it, and thought a new fridge would cause less worry. Wrong. Our first tenant complained that it frosted over a lot, and it wasn't very cold. Thankfully, we purchased an extended warranty, because at just under 3 years old, a new tenant lost 2 loads of food in a row! It froze over, and the thermo control had to be replaced twice. Fast forward 8 months, and it started it again! The warranty company is completely reimbursing us for the fridge because they have spent more than the purchase price on repairs just in the last year!

When we purchased the house the the fudge was a deciding factor. My wife and our realtor busted my chops about it but I demanded that the previous homeowners left the fridge. Little did I know that the fridge, the stove and the dishwasher "a trifecta" were of the same brand. We came to find out that the ice machine and water dispenser is inoperable, but I believe it's an easy fix. However the fridge still works fine. Overall I'm more then please with the fridge and the way it makes my kitchen look so sharp. Oh and my wife and realtor aren't busting my chops now! ;)

Had it for about a year and one of the door shelves broke. They seem very flimsy. All of the bulbs (inside and out) burned out within a few months. It constantly needs defrosting because the vent from the freezer side freezes over and blocks airflow to the fridge. I've lost all of my food at least twice already.

Had this unit less than two years. all three of the plastic shelves and the plastic crisper drawer in refrigerator had cracked and needed to be replaced. not under warranty. Almost $175.00 including shipping to replace them all. Not a "high quality product" as stated in the user guide.

When I bought this refrigeration I have to admit, I went with the cheapest one I could get that matched all of the other appliances, so I didn't do much research other than I wanted to hit a certain price point, and this one did. With that in mind, I have been very satisfied with the refrigerator! It is whisper quiet (except when it does its auto-defrosting every once in a while for a few seconds), looks good and I haven't had any issues after 3-4 years! I do have a couple complaints, the water dispensor / ice maker is black plastic and tends to get stained pretty easy and is kind-of cheap looking up close. Interior is great though!

I loved the look and thought having the whirpool brand would guarantee me little problems, but, I must of got the lemon? They came twice in the first 3 months and it took over a week and a half for parts. Not happy. Ruined all refrigerated items and I'm just not sure what happened to the whirpool I've depended on for yrs?

Looks OK the only problem I have is that the water dispenser opening is short if you have a tall glass you can't fit it under and the water spills all over even if you try to move it around when you are filling it...... other than that it's OK

3/27/2014
I'm not an engineer but it seems to me that a lighted indicator to let me know that the ice maker light is on is non-sensical; I need an indicator to show me where to turn off the light. When I am getting crushed ice, I could also use an indicator to show me where the water button or ice cube selection button are located. And what does the 'locked' button do when it is unlocked by the adjacent button. Also, the crushed ice dispenser is messy, with a lot of crushed ice fragments falling onto the floor. Otherwise, it's wonderful to have crystal-clear ice and filtered water, and the refrigerator performs beautifully!.

Nice Refrigerator for the Price.Works great so far for 4 months of owning it.Ice make and water system works great and easy to change.Ice Maker is slightly noisy when running through cycles but nothing outrageous. The stainless look is nice but your hand prints show easy. I use a microfiber cloth and a stainless steel appliance cleaner to keep it clean. Refrigerator and freezer portion has sufficient storage space.

This refrigerator looks more expensive than it is and functions well. Good amount of shelves on both sides and bright lighting. Only issue is that the light on the refrigerator side sometimes gets in the way when putting a lot of bulky items on the top shelf. It's a minimal issue. The filtered water function is great as is the ice make for whole cubes. Crushed ice is a bit of a problem. It tends to cake around the interior when dispensed and sometimes accumulates. Fridge makes noise but nothing I haven't experienced in other models with ice makers. Overall I'm very happy with this model, especially given the price I paid at a major retailer. I would definitely recommend this model to those looking for a great looking and very functional fridge at a very reasonable price.

Unit is solid and moves well on the wheels. Door handles are loose and slide up a lot. Loud buzzing from lower vent cover near filter housing when motor kicks on. Freezer is a bit on the small side but like the adjustable shelves. Great ice maker. Finish is "ok" but edges seem rough. Unit came with new home, but will replace in 5 years or less.

Our family purchased the Whirlpool side by side recently. We wanted doors that opened all the way. We wanted the shelves and drawers that were easily removed for cleaning. The water dispenser and water filter were also very important to us. The overall style fits in great with our decor. Our new Whirlpool is perfect for our family.
