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 and 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.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Only Works as Built-in

Submitted by Unhappychappy - 11/23/2019

The beautiful sunset bronze color is only on the FRONT of the fridge. Sides are an ugly battleship grey. So only buy this if you're going to install it as a built-in, otherwise the sides show and don't match the front. Perhaps my mistake for not looking at the 360 degree photo, but clearly the unit should be labeled as "For Built-in Only"

Numerous Difficulties

Submitted by Carletta Howard - 11/13/2019

I ordered this refrigerator July 26, 2019. After several delays, the refrigerator was finally delivered on August 10. The delivery company unpacked it and plugged it in. Twenty four hours later, the refrigerator was still not cold. Only the bottom shelf in both the refrigerator and the freezer were slightly cold. I notified my local Home Depot store, but they said I needed to notify the delivery company of difficulties within the first 48 hours. I finally got a store manager at Home Depot who was helpful and said he would have a replacement delivered within a week. The second refrigerator was delivered on August 17, The delivery company (same company/different personnal) dammaged two different walls in my kitchen bringing the 2nd refrigerator into the kitchen. When I pointed out the nicks in the wall and the dammaged paint, they abruptly left and did not remove any of the packing from the refrigerator. I again called Home Depot and was told I could unpack it myself. I lost it! The store did send a representative to remove the packing and attempt to level and adjust the refrigerator. I told them they could send someone to unpack it or pick it up and issue a refund. I reported to them that the top of the refrigerator door was dented. I was again told I would need to report it to the delivery company. I called the Whirlpool hotline directly. Two weeks later, a company representative was sent to my home and agreed to order a new door. Because of the dent, the door could not be adjusted and the refrigerator door is slightly lower than the freezer door. I just received a voice message this week (November 2019) that the replacement door has been received and to call for a date to replace the door. I had ordered the sunset bronze color and was disappointed with the color. There was no sample color in the Home Depot store, so I was ordering from the color pictures on the Whirlpool website. The site does not give a true representation of the color of the appliance. I also purchased the microwave and the dishwasher, which I considered to be a sizeable and expensive purchase amount.

Good choice for new look!

Submitted by maryfromapopka - 8/7/2019

I was hoping the color would be bronzier, more of a rose gold look but it's more of a noticeable hue. It's got a lot of nice features like the ice container easily lifts out to fill ice buckets for parties, etc. I might be missing freezer shelves, there were only three and looks like should be five. If the freezer only has three shelves, that's not good. And the ice maker line is kinda loud. Overall though it's a good value -- high end features and look, reasonable price.

Refrigerator meets our needs.

Submitted by Barb444 - 6/9/2019

Refrigerator was ordered in February and delivered in April. Our kitchen size limits us to a counter depth refrigerator . Side-by-side doors also conform very well . Size and capacity fulfil our daily needs on a weekly basis. We also replaced a 2nd refrigerator in our garage with a more efficient one with more storage for beverages & weekend entertaining plus additional freezer space. Great feature is the user friendly water/ice door dispenser and controls. On day of delivery, Missing freezer shelves not discovered or reported 'til a later date as we went out of town... too late to determine if delivery or source deficiency. Also, expected to find a complimentary air filter since housing was installed. Pursued "old school" solution...returned to store, was referred to Geek Squad who referred me to Manufacturer. Whirlpool User Guide received with delivery, detailed Accessories part numbers and Customer Service contact info. Customer Service ordered missing shelving to be shipped, (not yet received). I appreciated her info, including new part #, for water filter savings program. BTW, recommended Affresh cleaning products are available on-line, at Home Depot or Walmart.

Nice design and nice space features.

Submitted by Barbia - 1/22/2019

I received the refrig damaged on the inside. I took pictures of the damages and emailed them to Lowes. My sale person said they would be repaired but to wait for the rest of my other 3 Whirlpool appliances so I can check them over and if there were any issues then the repairs or issues could be taken care of with one visit Made sense to me. I received the Whirlpool micro wave and I really enjoy it. How ever when the stove and dish washer arrived they were damaged and I didn't accept them. I have been with out a stove since before Christmas and with out a dish washer for weeks but all the appliances were fully paid for . I ordered these 4 Whirlpool appliances on Nov. 11 2018. Now I have a great micro wave, a damaged refrig, no stove and no dish washer. Let's hope the ones they have reordered don't arrive damaged also. I really need a stove! My reviews will be forwarded to the CEO of both Lowes and Whirlpool. My answers to the questions asked apply only if the appliances arrive with out damage!

Best Lighting Inside & Out!

Submitted by AuntKathi - 8/27/2018

Love this side by side refrigerator/freezer where I can easily see everything! The door controls are a big plus, and the outside light is such a beautiful bonus. Only down side, is the need for more freezer shelves. Even one more would have been great. I didn't know this when I bought it as my dealer had none in stock, and I bought my whole suite from an ad!

I am so happy with my new Whirlpool Sunset Bronze Side-by Side Refrigerator. I had to order the smallest one due to the size of my kitchen but I am so impressed with how roomy it is! Great feature on the door for measured water when following a recipe! Highly recommend!

Submitted by Lowe’s shopper - 7/30/2018

Just wish it had more shelves for both fridge and freezer and smaller ice bucket then there would be more shelves in the freezer. I understand I can buy extra shelves so will look into it.
