I Hate My Whirlpool Refrigerator

by Julia
(Canton, Ohio)

I hate my Whirlpool refrigerator! I purchased it just over a year ago an what a waste of money.

It seems like best one in the market at first but now I expect it breakdown at anytime. It's completely unreliable.

The defrost option stopped working after 4 months. We spoke to Whirlpool customer service many times in order to get it and the timer replaced.

Whirlpool is seen as a leader in the refrigerator market though their customer service was less than helpful. I would recommend that you check into the kind of service they offer in your city before buying.

I would not recommend buying a Whirlpool Refrigerator - don't waste your money!

P.S. - My cousin had bought a Samsung refrigerator just few months before I got mine and I would say its slightly more costly than my Whirlpool refrigerator but surely worth the money spent.

Terrible Whirlpool Refrigerator
by: Anonymous

Wow --- and I thought I was the only one with problems with this "piece of crappola" refrigerator -- Whirlpool!

The plastic guide on the ice dispenser just broke and it leaks water from under the refrigerator about every other day. Big pool of water on the floor!

What a piece of junk!

I am totally disappointed with this refrigerator. I'll "NEVER" buy another Whirlpool appliance!

We've only had this refrigerator for approximately 18 months.

The Hotpoint refrigerator we had before this worked like a charm but we had to go and want an ice dispenser! Should have kept the good, old, reliable Hotpoint!

Blessing in disguise
by: Appliance Tech

Maybe you guys are better off junking your Whirlpool appliance and getting another brand.
Just Google "Whirlpool Lawsuit" and you'll see it looks like Whirlpool has a lawsuit for every thing they build.

The worst part is Whirlpool is dangerous. I purchased all new Whirlpool appliances for my home and have had nothing but trouble.

ALL of my Whirlpool appliances' motors overheated at one time or another, and my microwave would not turn off when the door was opened. I got a bad shock and a nasty burn!

Whirlpool is junk, service is lousy but that pales in comparison with the safety issues. A Whirlpool water heater burned a house and a young child didn't make it out.

We are lucky, we may have lousy appliances but we still have our loved ones, our homes and our lives!

Be careful when you buy a new appliance, Whirlpool hides behind many other names like Maytag, Jenn Air etc.

Dont get Whirlfooled! Avoid Whirlpool and their cover up companies, like your life depends on it because it just might!

PS: Remember the TV commercial about the Maytag repairman who is so lonely because Maytag never needs service? Since Whirlpool took over ,he's suffered a nervous breakdown!LOL

I also HATE my Whirpool Fridge
by: Anonymous

I have had my Whirlpool fridge since Sept. 2009 and had it replaced 4 days after I bought it, because everything in my freezer thawed.

It had a 7 day return policy with Lowe's, so I had it replaced. 10 months later, the new fridge had the same problem, everything thawed in the freezer, repair man came out (under warranty), and it started working right before he came, so he couldn't trouble shoot the problem.

When I called the factory they said they would not authorize replacement of circuit board (which is what the repairman recommended).

Now, 10 months later (again), the refrigerator stopped working, completely warm, lost everything in the fridge! Repairman coming out tomorrow....couldn't be more dissatisfied with a product!

Had my old fridge (GE) for 23 years and never had a minutes trouble, which goes to show they don't make things like they used to!

all appliances

Try to find parts for a Samsung. locally or someone who wants to work on them. Their appliances are made to last less than 5 years.

Its not uncommon to repair one between 2 and 4 years old. Parts only have to be available for 5 yrs.

I have worked on many appliances less than 10 years old with parts no longer available. Think Whirlpool is junk try Frigidaire they give you a 1 year warranty on compressor good luck getting 2 years out of it.

Same Problem
by: Anonymous

I have the same Kenmore model #10644423600

My ice dispenser is also broken.

The door flapper has broken on the ice dispenser and now the freezer is full of frost over my entire food contents.

In Canada you cannot even get parts over the internet like in the US.

Great...the repair bill is going to cost half the price of the fridge.

I hate my whirlpool refrigerator
by: jill

I own a Whirlpool refrigerator (model #10644423600) and its a piece of shit!

I have had Sears out to repair the ice dispenser 8 times in the last 3 years.

The repair technicians tell me it is a design problem and it can't be fixed.

Instead I have to de-ice my ice bucket at least once a week in order to keep it running or live without an ice dispenser as long as I own this piece of fridge.

I am the only one with this problem?

Thanks for Your Whirlpool Refrigerator Review
by: HeidiPro

Thanks for your Whirlpool refrigerator review! It certainly sounds like it's been a great deal of problems. Can you tell us what the model number is so anyone who reads this in the future will know not to look at it.

Thanks again!
