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.

I like the wire shelves instead of glass, it lets the cold air circulate much better. Wish the front doors were textured like the sides so you don't see all the fingerprints.

Bin Does NOT Slide side to side

BrianX 5/30/2019

On this model, WRT138FZD*, the Flexi-slide bin does NOT slide side to side. You must remove the bin drawer and its plastic support and then reinstall them in the desired position. The Whirpool website is misleading when it states that this model, "features a Flexi-Slide™ bin that easily moves side to side". On the wire shelves, the spacing from wire to wire is slightly greater than 1 inch. That is too wide for many items with a base width of less that 2.25 inches. For example, taller beer bottles will easily tip over on the wire shelves.

Made me appreciate Refrigeration.

Got a bad fridge 5/4/2018

I bought this refrigerator and noticed it wasn't keeping things cool and all my food is rotting. At the coldest setting it was 58 degrees in my refrigerator. Was without a refrigerator over a week waiting for the repairman to come fix it.

Constantly leaking

Angry immogee 11/7/2017

I received this fridge 2 weeks ago. It has had extreme condensation building up since it was installed. I cannot get in touch with anyone at customer service. If I wanted a fridge that leaked all over my food, I would've kept my old one

Very Frustrated!

10/2/2017

This is a replacement for my 3 year old 18 cubit foot fridge that was freezing the food in my fridge due to a problem with the compressor. I am extremely frustrated as this NEW replacement is doing the same thing! I have an appointment scheduled on Oct 9th with the extended warranty company to determine what the problem is. I am very frustrated with Whirpool products!

great space, in consistent temperatures in refrig space

Whirlpool refrig owner 8/14/2017

Glad I got this refrig as it provides much more space both in refrig and freezer cavities.However, find that there are areas in the refrig space which freeze my food when temperature is set to recommended settings. Have found the need to set temperature one warmer than recommended.

I am in a Habitat for Humanity home and this was graciously donated by Whirlpool. I really thought it would be a small fridge but there is a ton of room inside. My favorite part is all of the shelves in the door.

Lots of room!

7/26/2017

I got this about 3 weeks ago and am very happy. Its very roomy, the freezer is larger than my other unit and has a a wire rack. It's nice and quiet, the deli drawer can be located on either side with a solid half shelf on top rather than the standard wire rack which can be very handy at times. There is also a shelf in the door that can tilt up in order to place tall items in the door, great feature! The only disappointment is the fruit and vegetable drawers on the bottom are very short.

Good, solid refrigerator

Doug C 4/19/2017

We've had this refrigerator for a couple of weeks now and so far very happy. Runs very quietly, and rarely ever hear compressor kick on. For a no-frills, basic refrigerator (we use it in our basement) it's a great fit.

Nice Product, but Not So Great Shelves

This refrigerator is great, and works very well. It runs quietly. The only problem I have is the slats in the shelving is a little too wide, and items tend to knock over easily.
