18 cu. ft. SideKicks® All-Freezer with Fast Freeze

You'll have plenty of room to store all your frozen favorites inside this 18 cu. ft. SideKicks® freezer . Enjoy a longer-lasting, energy-efficient light on your frozen items with LED lighting. And, activating Fast Freeze quickly drops the temperature to help lock in freshness and flavor, and the temperature alarm will notify you if the freezer 6gets too warm. This SideKicks® freezer prevents frost build-up with frost-free defrost, so you won't have to empty the freezer to manually defrost again. You can choose the ideal temperature for whatever frozen foods you're storing with electronic temperature controls. Plus, you can be sure there is plenty of ice on hand with the optional icemaker.

Features

LED Interior Lighting

LED interior lighting is longer-lasting and uses less energy than incandescent lighting. Plus, it casts a bright light on the contents of your refrigerator so food looks as it should.

Additional Features

Fast Freeze

The Fast Freeze Option helps you chill large amounts of food fast at just the push of a button. How it works: This option freezes large amounts of food fast, by driving freezer temps 10 degrees colder than the lowest setting.

Electronic Temperature Control

Convenient, up-front electronic temperature controls let you choose the ideal temperature for whatever frozen foods you're storing.

Temperature Alarm

A temperature alarm notifies you when the freezer's temperature rises to help you monitor the ideal environment for your frozen foods.

Frost-Free Defrost

Frost-free defrost automatically prevents frost build-up, so you'll never have to empty the freezer for a manual defrost again.

Optional Icemaker

An optional icemaker makes sure there is plenty of ice on hand.

Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not very pleased. My wife and I recently bought a house and purchased the refrigerator and freezer sidekick combo. Within the first year the refrigerator had to be repaired 2x. Here we are now at year 2.5 and my freezer has now stopped working and the part needed to repair it is discontinued. Luckily a few months back I purchased an extended warranty because the insurance company called me last week to let me know that I am being given about half the value of my freezer back and that I am going to need to purchase a new freezer. We have been very displeased with the Whirlpool sidekicks that we purchased 2.5 years ago to say the least.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Family of Chefs It keeps thing cold and looks nice. It fits in my custom designed kitchen. It replaced a previous Whirlpool that leaked constantly and continually had a large amount of ice accumulating below the bottom rack. Nothing else fit in the kitchen without paying thousands to have cabinets and counter redesigned to fit new appliance. The new configuration is NOT good. Fewer shelves on the door. I liked the shelves to hold butter, boxes and plastic containers of vegetables. You added a bin and removed a shelf. Bins are terrible. I am constantly shuffling things to find what I want. I like things neat and stacked not thrown in bins. We are a family of chefs (graduated from culinary school) .

Rated 1 out of 5 by JVOH from And poor customer service... A follow up to my husbands (BVOH) review of a week ago (as they won't let the same person post twice or revise a recent review): Given the other recent poor reviews and the attempt by CA social care to reach out to those people, I had expected that someone from customer service might try reach out. Instead, the response from customer service was a form response saying "Your concerns will be documented in an appropriate manner." I'm not sure what that means, but it surely doesn't help, especially as I already am having a service call today to fix the new freezer that I just bought.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CamroseGirl from Great concept, worked fine, now cheaper quality I loved these 13 years ago when I bought them. Designed my whole kitchen around them. They worked great and stored tons. A much better idea than the high end built ins. Then the fridge went out and had to buy a whole new set. Am sorely disappointed in the new models. Lots of wasted space on the doors for both fridge and freezer. Who needs 4 veg bins?? Super plasticy ice tray for freezer. Would have never bought these again buy have to unless redesign kitchen. These are such a great idea, Whirlpool, why did you ruin them???

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from sidekick So far so good. I know this unit has received less than stellar reviews but it's the only unit that would fit in our space (we bought an extended warranty). So far I'm liking them both. Although I think the space could have been used better in both units. They're set up more like a commercial fridge/freezer without all the niceties of what you might be used to in other refrigerator/freezers like moving shelves and drawers and cubbies for odd shaped items. But, all that being said, I like them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Value I bought this along with the matching All-Fridge and trim kit. This system creates a very high-end look at a reasonable price. Overall, it's a great value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Telm from Complete freezer I am glad we brought this freezer. Holds a lot of food. Like all the space where we can store different foods. Able to see the food in the freezer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Poor Product Quality At this moment, I am waiting for a repairman for my freezer - for the second time.I bought both the refrigerator and freezer w/icemaker and they were installed on Sept 7 2016 to replace two leaking sidekicks which were about 10 years old. No other fridge/freezer will fit in the space they were in. They look very attractive.But the ice maker stopped working about a week after installation. The repairman installed a new ice maker on Sep 23 2016. It began leaking about a week later. So today on Oct 10 2016 I am waiting for the ice maker to be repaired (probably replaced) again.Not a quality product in my book. I would definitely buy something a different fridge/freezer except that I'd have to remodel my entire kitchen. After spending thousands of dollars on new appliances, it's very sad that they are so poorly made.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DaveJustRocks from Wish I had heeded the Warnings. I wish I had listened to all the other reviewers, but I was captured by the look of these in a friend's kitchen and figured there's no way it could be this bad. Like many others, I have designed the kitchen with these specific dimensions, and am stuck on this path. Problem one: The opening measurements in the installation instructions DO NOT include enough space to actually open the door. You can not install the freezer or refrigerator at the end of a run of counters and against a wall. You need to add about 3" of additional clearance. We found this out AFTER installing $10,000 of custom cabinets and $3000 of custom granite.... Problem two: Freezer didn't work from the second I plugged it in. This is of course discovered AFTER installing the ice maker, and AFTER modifying the cupboards, and because of construction delays, 4 months after the unit was delivered. Seller says it's Whirlpool's problem, Tech says it is an internal leak common to the units, and that it is not repairable, Whirpool saying I waited to long, and that their warranty doesn't cover replacement, only repair. We'll see how this ends, but right now, I'm unhappy and don't have a freezer. I also have a trim kit that I can't use, and can't return because I needed three pieces of the kit.
