    Bought brand new Whirlpool Black Orr Refrigerator. I'm on my third one. In 2 months the first one was damaged, second one had broken wheels a missing parts. Now I'm waiting for my third one to be delivered. And don't forget to add I bought the double oven Black orr very expensive new appliances was damaged when I received it. Waiting for Flamingo Repair to show up. 5 minutes before the end of day they sent a text they can't come. Made another appointment for three weeks out. Good Luck.

    It doesn't make enough ice. I paid $1,200 get on sale and I'm not happy. It's the worst refrigerator I had of my life. I can't believe it doesn't make but six little ice cubes a day. Worst refrigerator. Never recommend this refrigerator anybody. Go spend your money on something else.

      Whirlpool DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS!!! We purchased a refrigerator on 5/13/2024 but did not purchase an "extended warranty" because the Major Appliance Limited Warranty booklet included with the fridge included Years 2 thru 5 for certain components (including the sealed refrigeration system ... includes compressor). The repairman came out and informed us that the compressor was bad. Called Whirlpool and was told that this is not covered for the fridge we purchased. Then why was this booklet in my fridge?? I will be contacting the Appliance Center from which we made the purchase to see if they can help, and contacting our attorney. Unbelievable to me that we spent $1,500 on an appliance and the company will not stand behind their product!

      Bought new from Home Depot 3 months ago and still doesn't work. Lost all my frozen food. Whirlpool uses Goodman home solutions for service. Continually cancel appointment and show up late and then when you complain they tell you the date you were given isn't an appointment, it's the date you wanted? The representative told me that date, I didn't request it. I will never do business with Home Depot or Whirlpool again. Worst purchase I ever made.

      Complete garbage and terrible customer service. Just got an estimate of over $1000 to repair my Whirlpool refrigerator that is just over a year old and cost over $2000. Their only compensation was to put the repair bill in monthly payments or give me 15% off a new one. I will NEVER buy another Whirlpool anything!

      Whirlpool has become one of the most predatory and anti-consumer companies I’ve dealt with, and this experience completely destroyed any trust I had in their brand. I purchased a Whirlpool WRS588FIHB refrigerator in November 2024. Not long after, it developed a serious issue: the refrigerator compartment consistently runs at 40°F and above, which is not safe for food storage. This is not user error or misuse—this is a defective appliance.

      What’s worse is Whirlpool’s response. When I contacted support, I was flat-out denied access to a service technician unless I first paid $555 for a repair plan or extended warranty. I was immediately redirected to sales and blocked from speaking to an actual service department. No troubleshooting. No attempt to help. Just a demand for money upfront.

      This is not customer service—this is a paywall. It feels exploitative and designed to extract more money from customers who already purchased a faulty product. For a relatively new appliance, this is unacceptable. Whirlpool’s business practices have clearly shifted from supporting customers to monetizing their problems. It’s disappointing, it’s unethical, and it undermines any confidence in their brand. I will never purchase another Whirlpool product again. Thankfully, I found a local appliance repair company that actually values customers and provides real service without holding it hostage. If you’re considering Whirlpool, understand this: when something goes wrong, don’t expect help—expect a bill.

      Don’t know yet. Compressor is making a high pitched sound driving my husband crazy. Have to check into getting a new one or getting compressor fixed.

      I bought a Whirpool part from whirlpool parts but did not open the box or use the product, but I am having a hard time to return it. They said that they will send email to me and give me instructions on where and how to return it, but they did not. Next time I was able to talk to someone, she told me that it now 39 days and they will not refund me my money, but that she will send instructions on how to return it to my email, but she did not. She also told me that she will include their customer service contact email to me but did not. Their dishonesty is astounding and I will not recommend their products to anyone.

      Purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator model number WRFF3336SZ in October 2025. We noticed it has not been cooling very well, i.e., milk was cool/not cold. Called Whirlpool because it is still under warranty and a service tech was sent out. Confirmed that the compressor is bad and needs to be replaced. Absolutely unbelievable! It’s just my husband and I and so this refrigerator does not take a beating. We spent over $2200 on this refrigerator six months ago and a major part has already failed. My appliance guy told me that it’s a huge risk to replace a compressor on any refrigerator even a new one because the potential for damage is high as you are unscrewing things that shouldn’t be unscrewed, unsealing areas that shouldn’t be unsealed, etc.

      I was told by the warranty department at Whirlpool that replacing a refrigerator is never an option unless it is less than 14 days old in your care. I purchased this appliance through a reputable, high-end appliance company and they, were super disappointed. This makes them look bad too. PROMISE: I will never, ever purchase another Whirlpool product after this experience. China for the win. Whirlpool for the Fail!!!!

      Avoid at all costs! I remember when this was THE brand but not anymore. I bought a washing machine in December 2025. I am currently awaiting a second repair. Their customer service is nonexistent. I've been unable to use the machine for 5 weeks total. As much as I've spent at the laundromat, I'm halfway to purchasing anything but a Whirlpool!
