Basic sleek and effective

I bought this fridge as a replacement for the 26.4 cu.ft whirlpool fridge I had for 17 years (the compressor died). This fridge is a newer version of the other model I had. They redesigned a few of the shelves to allow for more space in the fridge and freezer. The doors are a much sleeker design. The capacity, although it says 25cu.ft., is actually quite large. They resdesigned it to fit boxes and jugs better. I like the new shelving features and for a side by side, this has a lot of capacity. The freezer is minus a shelf from the older model so that reduces the capacity a bit. If you are looking for a lot of bells and whistles, this is not your fridge. If you want something that is affordable, has good capacity and is a quality refridgerator then this is something to consider. The fridge was on sale and I purchased it at Lowes and got an additional discount so it was around $900.
The only drawback was:
Whirlpool makes these fridges in Michigan. I ordered it on 6/16/18 from Lowes and unfortunately it didn't arrive until 8/6/18. So that was beyond inconvenient to be without a fridge most of the summer. Lowes didn't mention i could have requested a loaner fridge(although that is a separate review). In addition, the freezer door and gasket had a slight faulty seal so ice was collecting on the door. Since it was under warranty the reparimen did identify the issue and a repair is in process to date . The doors are made at the time of order and can take an additional 4-6weeks for delivery and install. That is my only drawback to this fridge. Apparently doors are a common repair item when shipped and installed so it would be great if Whirlpool could correct this distriburtion issue.
Otherwise, this fridge is solid and I expect it to last another 15-17 years as the other one did.
