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 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 1 out of 5 by MaggieBL from Don't even think about buying this! Due to space, I purchased a second sidekick freezer (and a second sidekick fridge) over a 10 year person of time. My new freezer (purchased in Feb 2020, It is now July 2020)) has frozen up and stopped working. I defrosted it and there was NO WAY to get out the water. A Youtube video showed how someone has figured out how to put a hose in the unreachable drip pan and use a vacuum to suction it out. Whirlpool is NO help. I called. At 7 minutes until I was due to speak to someone, I was disconnected. I called back 1 hour 10 minute wait. Couldn't schedule online as I live in a rural area and "Address not valid" showed up when I put in my address on the website. It is apparent this piece of junk is made to self destruct and there is no help to be had.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Corinne 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 1 out of 5 by moe1973 from Very Disappointed I purchased this freezer in November 2016 so not quite 4 years old and now this freezer is already stopped working. I have had to replace a few parts already and now it seems that the control board now has to be replaced which this part is unavailable as its on factory backorder. This is unacceptable for a $1,500 dollar product. Freezers are expected to last at least 11 years and its only be 3 plus years for me. Whirlpool used to be the top of the line but I am very disappointed as now I have no freezer.

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 1 out of 5 by Blue93 from Read the reviews and TRUST THEM I bought this unit and its refrigerator mate 9/16/19 and in August 2020 the fridge started heating up. Repair guy came out and found hole in evaporator coil and ordered replacement part. 2 weeks later part was installed and after trouble shooting a mystery noise the new part created for 10 weeks (5 service visits) the fridge is now back in my kitchen working properly. Noise was caused by over charging with refrigerant because door placard was showing wrong charge weight. Now on 11/5/20 the freezer has started to hold only at 20F . Scheduled service call, out of warranty at this time, and thought another evaporator coil needed replaced. The day the service guy shows up (11/10/20) open the door before he gets there and unit has pulled down to -5F (Have thermometer in it now). Service guy doesn't know at this time what the issue is. So I have to put nothing in it until it heats up again or throw way a bunch of food again. I'm stuck with these units because like many others my kitchen was built around them. Waiting to open your freezer door and see the temp setting at 20F is no way to live.

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.
