Whirlpool french door bottom freezer refrigerator

My husband and I bought this refrigerator one year ago and love it! I have 3 children and the older ones can easily get their own ice and food out of the bottom freezer which makes life easier for me. With the french doors you have plenty of room on the inside of the refrigerator for large food items.....like a turkey, cake, you name it! With a family of five I needed a refrigerator with plenty of storage and this one definitely has it!

2004 identical model, compressor now dead-Kenmore 596.75504400

I bought an identical model of this refrigerator back in June 2004. It was our first one-- last was a 34 yr old model that was both scary and faithful.

Last month- June 2011-- the compressor start capacitor went out, so I replaced it. This past week- July- the same noise started again, and now I'm told by the service tech that the compressor itself is dying, and may have another week left.

Needless to say, I am confused and seriously irritated. How in the world could old technology make a refrigerator that could last 34 years, and new technology can't make one that will last 7 years?

I was so excited when we got this thing I couldn't contain myself. Now.... I really wish I could get a replacement that'd last....

Thank you sears for making a fancy pile of .....

Do us all a favor-- make refrigerators that will last. This is ridiculous. You charge $1200-$2600 and they die way too young.

Known problem, terrible fridge

Everyone on here has the same problem- the doors don't shut and the bottom freezer ices over causing the fridge not to cool! This is the crappiest most expensive fridge ever. I purchased an extended warranty and literally it takes 3 weeks to schedule an appointment. I don't want to de-ice this one, I don't want a new one, I just want my money back. =/

Easy to use.

My Whirlpool refrig. is easy to access all of the bins and shelves. The humidity contoled veggie and fruit bins keep spoilage to a minimum.The soda dispenser on the door is very creative by accomdating the 12-pack boxes. I especially like the ease of cleaning the shelves and bins.Thank you Whirlpool, you make a World of difference.

I like the stainless steel finish

Have only been using it for about a month and a half, so it may be early to have a more meaningful evaluation. One concern, the door and freezer handles are slotted slide ons, and they keep coming off. It's only my wife and me at home, so it's not any kids doing it. It's annoying and would be embarrasing in front of guests.

Love my 3 door refrigerator Seems so wide and easy to store my foods.I bought because of reputation

Love my frige but wish it had a few features found on the Samsung. I wish the ice was more assesible as you need to pull top shelf all the way out to retrieve ice. Also wish it had a shelf or 2 that pulled out or folded down to give more room for larger items when needed. I bought as I have always had Whirlpool or Kenmore for my 53 years of marriage and countless homes. Many years we had 2 homes as we do now and we always replaced with whirlpool. they hold up far longer than many others. I currently have 2 whirlpool refrigerators in my current homeand 1 in my summer home. I have noticed that this unit is a bit noiser than my smaller refrigerator. Over all I guess I am somewhat satisfied with my new product. I did take about and hour of hemming and hawing over the Samsung it was less $$$ but Whirlpools reputation won me over.

Well organized with a full-width pantry and industry-exclusive can caddy in this ENERGY STARŪ qualified 25 cu. ft. bottom freezer refrigerator.

For us we had a good working refrigerator, so we did not need to rush out to replace a defective appliance. After looking in appliance stores and seeing and comparing French door and bottom freezers for product information. We found that the sales people have little interest in the appliances as to know just what the performance and fact about the items, they just hand you a brochure to review. So we went on the internet and did our own data search. What was the most help was to see side by side comparisons and how many types of refrigerators are manufactured. This could not be done in stores as not all models of appliances are carried in the stores and to view one you might have to drive to another store to compare. So by using the internet we let the pc do the work for us. That is how we found our refrigerator, it was not found in any of the major stores or hardware stores and at the same time we found out that Whirlpool was having a big discount on appliances! We set our goal only for a Whirlpool French door bottom freezer refrigerator. This was not advertised in the media at the time. We would do it all over again except for the shopping at some of the major stores.

Minor challenges; otherwise a very good product during it's first two months

I had high expectations and thus far were met. I have experienced three minor recurring challenges. If the left door is closed after the right door, intermittently it will partly open the right door. I expect that that problem to remediate itself as the seals loosen up. The second minor problem is that the if the ice tray is full and the freezer door is opened to quickly, some ice cubes will fall out. Finally, the durability of the plastic drawers.

Looks great, and plenty of inside space.

Plenty of space inside, fridge,and freezer, plenty of drawers to keep things fresh and centrally located. Like the glass shelves and ease of adjustments. double door is convenient for quick grabs without opening the whole front. I have never really heard it running, just ice dropping once in a while. I really like the filtered water feature. I am really happy with this product.

Large capacity storage in a small size with efficient operation

Our Kenmore model# GX5FHTXVQ07 refrigerator is an excellent size with large capacity storage that allowed it to fit in our kitchen without modifying cabinets or obstructing ease of use (doors and freezer opens fully). The French door upper and Freezer bottom allows for more freezer storage while providing a large (well designed) door and main compartment storage area for bottled water, milk and other common refrigerated items. The operation is quite and the power consumption is much reduced from our old refrigerator. I would recommend Kenmore Refrigerators and other appliances to anyone in the market for a new refrigerator or looking to reduce operational costs.

Performs better than anticipated

So far, this has proved to be one quality refrigerator. The french door style with the bottom freezer make retreiving items most used more convenient. It has an excellent refrigerator storage area, however, the ice-maker tray does dimish the freezer capacity somewhat, and cleaning below the freezer drawer is difficult, but not impossible. A very good product and very happy with the purchase of it.

Great except for 2 major things!

Besides the drain getting clogged creating ice build up in the bottom of my freezer and the door not shutting that might end my marriage, it's great. I was super excited when I bought this because I thought it was the Caddilac of fridges. Not so much. I'd go with something else next time.
