Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.
How much usable storage space does this refrigerator offer?Based on 5 owner mentions
This model has a 20 cubic foot capacity with a counter-depth design that fits well in smaller kitchens while still providing ample room. Reviewers consistently praise the spacious layout, flexible shelving, and large deli drawer, though some note that the counter-depth footprint is more compact than full-size models.
What are the dimensions, and will it fit in my kitchen space?Based on 4 owner mentions
This refrigerator measures 35.6 inches wide, 70.1 inches tall, and 29.4 inches deep. It is a counter-depth model, making it ideal for kitchens with space constraints or older homes where a standard-depth fridge won't fit. Many owners report it fits perfectly in their kitchens despite being counter-depth.
Does this refrigerator keep food at a consistent temperature?Based on 3 owner mentions
Yes, reviewers report that this model maintains consistent temperatures and keeps food properly cooled and frozen. Multiple owners confirm reliable temperature performance over weeks and months of use.
What noise level should I expect from this refrigerator?Based on 7 owner mentions
Most owners report quiet or normal operation, with several praising how quietly it runs. However, some reviewers have noted that the unit produces a noticeable hum or humming sound, particularly from the compressor or fan, which can be heard from other rooms. A few owners also reported loud ice maker operation when filling. If noise becomes an issue, Whirlpool service can investigate.
How reliable is the ice maker?Based on 5 owner mentions
Most owners report the ice maker works well and appreciate the in-freezer design. However, some reviewers have experienced ice maker failures or loud operation during the filling cycle. If issues occur, Whirlpool offers service support, though repairs may require multiple technician visits in rare cases.
Are there any quality or assembly issues I should be aware of?Based on 7 owner mentions
Most units arrive in good condition and function well. However, some reviewers have reported door alignment issues (doors slightly misaligned out of the box), cheaper plastic shelving compared to older models, and occasional hardware problems like stripped adjustment bolts or sticky freezer light switches. These issues are not universal, and dealers can often replace or adjust units if problems occur upon delivery.
What features does this model include?Based on 7 owner mentions
This French-door refrigerator includes adjustable shelving, a large deli drawer, door bins for condiments, a filtered water dispenser on the side wall, and an in-freezer ice maker. Reviewers appreciate the French-door design for visibility and access, the flexible interior layout, and the water dispenser convenience, though some find the internal water dispenser location slightly awkward to use.
What is the annual energy consumption for this model?Based on 1 owner mention
This refrigerator uses approximately 563 kilowatt-hours per year, making it a reasonably efficient choice for a French-door model of this size.

KathySep 19, 2025 - Bottom freezer.
Love my refrigerator. I have now purchased two of the exact refrigerators.
LABREEZEAug 11, 2026 - Perfect for our needs
The door spaces hold all our condiments. The fruit and vegetables seem to last longer in the whirlpool.
billy willyAug 4, 2026 - Okay, but could be better
I am generally happy with this refrigerator, I think it was a good value for the price. The only issues that I have are with the icemaker and what I believe is unused space, The icemaker bin should have higher walls, since when getting ice,often cubes slip out of the bin and go…
Papa-JKJul 26, 2026 - The motor
The main thing I do not like about my new whirlpool refrigerator is that it makes this rattling noise when the motor start starts up. This goes on for about a minute and then it sounds like a normal refrigerator. I haven’t had time to find out if this is normal or not. Maybe you…
