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. 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.

Horrific

AETN 9/1/2026

We have had 2 ice makers installed when my husband noticed that the part number was NOT the one ordered. When they brought the 3rd, I made them verify the number on the box matched the one on the part. It didn't, being as the first time they replaced it, I watched him just check the part against the one replaced. Surprisingly when the next one (this happened twice) came it was checked before they brought it to us and the same thing. 5 times whirlpool sent the wrong part in the right box! Apparently checking your warehouse for the issue hasn't occurred to anyone. The escalated issue is being looked into, however we have been dealing with this for a month! It is really quite put us off anything whirlpool, we thought it was supposed to be a good product!

Absoutely terrible installation manual

Another annoyed customer 5/11/2026

This was one of the worst experiences I ever had with a consumer-installable product. The installation manual was a sloppy hodgepodge of several ice maker kits and several fridges, none of which precisely fit the WRT311FZDW (20 cu ft top freezer) I actually bought it for. Many parts of the manual were unclear or outright wrong for this fridge, and I had to make many strange jury-rigged loops to get all the tubes to fit, completely unlike the diagrams in the manual. The particular kit I received was also missing a wiring harness for inside the freezer, and the remaining one was too long to fit into the cable guides, so it's just sticking out the bottom now. Additionally, the spout angle did not match the actual opening in the fridge, so there wasn't a way to neatly get the extension tube lined up. It ended up falling into the freezer to who knows where, and I had to cut a longer tube down to the correct length manually, but it's still at the wrong angle. Ultimately, both the kit and especially the manual were very poor made. Between this experience and the actual fridge missing a door handle hole (separate purchase, separate experience), it really makes me wonder if anyone at Whirlpool still cares about quality and the customer experience at all. This was a phenomenally bad experience and I would not buy from this brand again.
