What owners talk about most
“I am redoing my kitchen. I wanted something different than the white refrigerator I had. Didn't want regular stainless steel, so I went with black stainless. I love the size and features this one offers.as it replaces a 25 year old white Whirlpool refrigerator[a name I can trust]”
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.
This model has a 21 cubic foot capacity with a spacious layout that reviewers consistently praise. The fridge section on the bottom and freezer on top provide ample room for groceries, with flexible shelving and deep crisper drawers that accommodate large items and bulk storage for events.
The freezer includes an interior light that reviewers highlight as a standout feature. Multiple owners report that the freezer lighting makes it easy to see contents without having to dig through items, and some describe it as a particularly useful and appreciated design element.
Yes, the refrigerator features adjustable shelves in both the main compartment and door, allowing you to customize storage to fit your needs. Reviewers appreciate the flexibility to accommodate tall bottles and various item sizes, though some note that door shelf snaps can be tricky to work with.
This model does not include a built-in ice maker, but Whirlpool offers the option to purchase and install one separately. Some reviewers specifically chose this model because they preferred not to have an ice maker, while others wish one were included at the price point.
Noise levels vary by unit. Most reviewers report the fridge operates quietly or very quietly, but a notable minority report that the compressor runs loudly—loud enough to make conversation difficult in some cases. If noise is a concern, it may be worth testing the specific unit before purchase.
The refrigerator features a black stainless steel finish that reviewers consistently describe as sleek, modern, and fingerprint-resistant. The finish is praised for its attractive appearance and ease of cleaning, and it coordinates well with other black appliances.
Some reviewers report that items fall through gaps in the freezer door shelves because the crossbars are not wide enough or the shelf depth is insufficient to hold smaller items securely. This is a recurring concern that may limit what you can store on those shelves.
A small number of reviewers reported that items in the lower refrigerator compartment froze unexpectedly, even after service attempts. While this is not a widespread issue across all units, it is a concern worth monitoring during the first weeks of use.

Bought this 10 days ago. I love the ease of adjusting the shelves. I love, love, love the light in the freezer.

bought couple of weeks ago to replace 20+ year old Whirlpool Fridge that was still running but groaning. This new unit does have more flexible shelves and compartments for better storage options. Will be pleased if this new unit lasts 20 years. USA product
Whirlpool is my go-to made in America appliance brand for quality and peace of mind.
I absolutely love the simplicity and sleekness of this fridge. With the fridge on bottom and freezer on top, there is a TON of storage for such a small fridge. The shelves are spaced nicely and easy to clean. I have been using it for about a month and have been absolutely loving…
