I purchased this fridge on July 1st, 2010. The first thing was the fridge was not cooling but the freezer was fine. We called a repairman. Thankfully, he was reliable. Upon investigating he at the start planning it was the main board. Oh wow, I planning. As he was looking additional, he found the freezer drawer was off just a tad, but ample to cause air to being paid away from causing the freezing up of the back of the freezer. An adjustment and equipment were great. That was last year.Today I noticed the fridge warm and the freezer frozen, again. Check the back, no ice. Blew out the underneath, check for leaks, check the seals, had the ice maker off- all check fine. I ongoing digging additional and found the vents from the freezer to the fridge were not blowing. I am in tension tonight, allowing it to be open and unplugged, the obstacle will thaw and I will have a fully functioning fridge again.I hope some of this info helps a name. It has its harms, but we must be able to get more out of this fridge than a link years! And not having to pay a handyman every 6-12 mos!Good luck folks.

After 2 years and 2 months we have had to exchange the power panel twice (substitution panel was faulty and was replaced at no charge by the apparatus renovate). Other issues right through the past 2 years contain kaput door shelves (we replaced), cheap fake cheese bin on the very bottom of the fridge is unstable and comes loose, and the rubber gasket almost the door is coming off off. We presume it will need to be replaced surrounded by the year. I think this fridge is poorly made and would not urge it to anyone. Our before fridge was an Amana with a bottom freezer that was a much best quality. We did quite a bit of investigate before we purchased this expensive apparatus and are very disappointed with it's normal.Requested that Vortex compensate us for the $240 bill to renovate (fridge cost $1500+) but they were not attracted in fiscal assistance their "quality" product.

We upgraded to this element to gain a few more check feet and to get on to the bottom freezer and french entrance config. At nearly an entry level price, you get on to decent features, pretty well-built construction, in-frig water dispenser, soda can dispenser, etc. water filter lasts about 6 months and is easier than using a Brita or Pure pitcher. We are satisfied with our purchase.

I also bought the Whirlpool GX5FHDXVTO about 2.5 years ago. Have been having a conundrum with the freezer screened-off area icing up (note we do not have the water or automatic ice maker, so with the intention of is not contributing to the issue). The thermostat feeler has been replaced twice in a time and the repair tech is now adage it has got to be the foremost board--yet no blunder idea language on digital spectacle. He not compulsory not throwing skilled cash with bad and only get a new fridge. I called Whirlpool and they wouldn't do whatever business except document the complaint. I also asked for a copy of the foremost board programming instructions, to which the whirlpool service rep said "here aren't any", with the intention of you only unplug to reset--which does not work. I admit with the intention of you can break down a blue-collar defrost per the programming instructions, but I cannot find my instructions to try with the intention of (I had a set--was surrounded by the in trade of the Fridge, found them as we repaired the at the start calculate). I would not urge this manufactured goods or Whirlpool ended again.

finally had it delivered and i love its looks. I LOVE all the space in my fridge compared to the side by side it seems deeper too. It does not make any more blast than my 7 yr old fridgidaire that broke (yes harms with only 7 yrs) Love the sliding freezer drawer...only one minus, I would take upon yourself it came with the fill up top but it doesn't. Glad I actually didn't use one or I would have been very disappointed that I didnt investigate it furtherOther than that, astute looking fridge, cooled soon with turning on and ongoing making ice in 2-3 hours

Bought this fridge 2 being ago and already had to exchange the protect board which was over 200.00 dollars. Contacted whirpool and the release thing they will do is paper the complaint. The service man told me he has replaced this board in over 100 refrigerators probably desires to be recalled. Whirpool does not stand behind their product.

I owned a Samsung refrigerator for 3 being. Even if after 3 being we had cyclone Sandy. The potential was fluctuating on and off and the voltage was decrease than ordinary and the compressor failed. Samsung was very responsive and offered a repair or a prorated refund. In view of the fact that it was the holiday season we opted to get a refund, in view of the fact that the repair would have taken too long. We used the money to buy this Whirlpool refrigerator, in view of the fact that Consumer Reports has rated Whirlpool more reliable in french door refrigerators.My wife has never forgiven me, as this Whirlpool, although similar in size, has a poor interior interval design. The door bins are for some reason undersized, even even if Whirlpool had plenty of room to provide larger ones. Also, the right slide out drawer in the refrigerator can not be pulled out without opening both doors of the refrigerator. The freezer design on the Whirlpool is also less user friendly than the Samsung. Lastly, when the compressor kicks on you will be annoyed by the louder than usual sound. Therefore I will be replacing this refrigerator with a Samsung refrigerator, even even if I have a strain new Whirlpool.

Got the GX5SHDXV model, akin to the one publicized, about a week past. It was formerly $1298 at Lowes, keep for the floor model had paint scratches, so they manifest it not effective to $1k. Lowes delivered it (an adventure in itself) keep for I installed it and set it up. So far away so good, it's quiet, makes lots of ice promptly, and has the Energy Star qualification with the intention of should keep $$ on my electric bill.There is only one gallon storage ridge in the door; I wrote Vortex to send me another to replace the can dispenser ridge with the intention of I won't use.The refrigerator drawers slide nicely, as does the freezer compartment drawer.The paint finish is very good, once I cleaned off all the tape residue from Lowes (why do they do with the intention of?) I used auto detailing spray to make it shine.

I've had my fridge pro in this vicinity 1 month currently, and so far away it's been effective fine. It looks sweet and all, BUT I be inflicted including to display including the intention of I am not extremely fortunate including the storage opportunity of this fridge. The lobby bins are curved, so you can all set VERY FEW bits and pieces in lone bin. You can't all set loads of tall equipment (i.e. wine bottles including they've been opened) if you be inflicted including approximately additional equipment here be fond of milk and/or juice. The coke can top is kind IF YOU DRINK FROM CANS! We don't and here's no road to chat made known including the intention of bin. It's just including the intention of my grown-up Kenmore fridge (greatly cheaper) had a LOT more storage than this lone. Excessively loads of curves in this model, which actually brings not effective storage opportunity. To be reliable, the dual doors is a bind, excessively. credentials rather go in trade to lone lobby.This was the lone piece including the intention of I did not peek at wisely as export my kitchen appliances. I would indeed not approve of it again or urge it.

A caution of years ago this fridge had sweet skilled reviews, so I unseen the warnings and bought it. What may maybe go ill-treat? I planning people who needed a lobby timer telephone system must be sweet unconscious. Well, my bad. These doors don't accurate be fond of single doors; here's a means in the midpoint and it now and again keeps the doors from finishing. You find out the next daylight, as the fridge has given up and all is lukewarm and ruined.The freezer has a similar conundrum. If you teach it skilled and full, equipment can block it from finishing completely. . .and ended again, it shuts off and lets all thaw. Plus, here seems to be an inherent top flaw with the intention of causes ice to form in the freezer in trade, blocking the drain until water drips out the adjoin. I found a YouTube nurse back to health but it may maybe deprivation if you're not clever with tools.All this, and I didn't even admit about the problems additional people have had! To caution the truth, though, I be fond of the top and give has been sweet dependable. But the be deficient in of a lobby timer telephone system, coupled with the means with the intention of prevents assured finishing, is a honest flaw. You will eventually rush and fail to see the lobby isn't quite clogged--and here goes a bunch of provisions. Peek elsewhere.
