Can't recommend this purchase enough. Price is up from a few years back when I bought it, which is to be expected. If you are going to buy this, do yourself a favor and open a Costco credit card if you don't have one. You will get 2 extra years of warranty. 4 years of warranty, no extra cost, and it's through Costco.
I agree 100%.

We had a similar, but much worse experience with two of our whirlpool gold French Door refrigerators. I say refrigerators because we're on our 3rd one in less than 2 years. The first one was a disaster, the door ice maker auger motor went bad, then the evaporator fan motor iced over twice, and the water inlet valve stopped working. Whirlpool replaced the first one under a lemon law type of situation.

We only had the second refrigerator about 1 week before it started getting getting warm (48 degrees). My wife just about lost it, she'd spent hours and hours of time, holding for customer service over the previous year, and we'd lost 100's of dollars of food due to unsafe high temps in the fridge. Whirlpool customer service is pretty good, they immediately set up an appointment to exchange the 2nd fridge for a new one, with no questions asked.

We've had the current fridge for about a year now with no problems (knock on wood). As I said whirlpool customer service is very good, but I wish we never had to find that out.

Multiple different repairmen also reiterated the fact that we were lucky we didn't buy a Samsung or LG fridge (kind of ironic, as they were there to fix our "good" broken whirlpool), they said most of their service calls were for LG and Samsung refrigerators.

I expected much better quality from an $3,000 American made refrigerator from a well known manufacturer.
It really feels like there are no good brands anymore for most appliances, fridges included. Any research winds up showing mostly negative reviews, and sure, that's probably partly self selecting bias, but it's depressing. Are there any good ones out there?

Thanks. Got one. Signed up for the Costco credit card too, but only got a 1200 limit and looks like I had to go to the store to print a temporary card. Oh well, whirlpool fridges are some of the most reliable, so I will make due with a 2 year warranty.

Just my two cents...
That might not be all true. My Whirlpool broke after one month of used and I already requested warranty fixed twice for last 1 year. I talked to one of the local repair guys after he fixed my an older model whirlpool side-by-side . He told me that LG, Samsung and other brands are the worst but Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator is slightly better...

I feel like this is worth spending $60 for a membership even though I don't have Costco near me. I can still order online right? This fridge is $2500 everywhere else

Just last year the lowest I have seen around ~$1500-1600 range at Costco. Prices might have gone up due to covid. I don't need it right away so will keep track. Thanks for the deal.

Yes, that's the general consensus that LG and Samsung suck. Samething the last repairman told me. I got this about a month ago, at full price. It's a decent fridge. Hoping to get a price adjustment.

I was also told to get units with the ice maker inside instead of on door, as those seem problematic. Don't know about longevity, but hoping it lasts as long as my Frigidaire.

I bought this fridge last year from Costco for a bit less than this sale, we like the fridge but it has issues with freezing sometimes. Not sure what is causing it, we have lowered the temp a degree or two past the recommended 38 but stuff still gets frozen sometimes.

That was my second repair about. I had a freezing problem, and after the detailed diagnose from the repairment. One of the harness returned really low current or something. the good thing was that he got the part to fix it. Again, not really satisfy for my purchase. My 8 year old side-by-side had no issue until the capacitor was brownout last month. 8 year without any incident, so I think the older models are better in term of build quality!

This is the lowest price I could find in recent past.
The same Refrigerator used to be ~$1200 in 18-19 before new tariffs imposed in past couple of years.

https://www.costco.com/whirlpool-...78272.html

Features:
2-year Manufacturer's Warranty
Accu-Chill™ Management System
EveryDrop™ Filtration
Adaptive Defrost
Adjustable Gallon Door Bins
Stainless Steel comes in Fingerprint Resistant

Use costco Visa for 4% CB and a total of 4 years warranty.
Or use Chase freedom to get 5% CB on Wholesale Clubs. Not sure if online orders qualifies for 5% CB.

Thanks everyone for your very persuasive and comments. I'm just beginning to shop for new kitchen appliances and definitely learned a little something.
