20 cu. ft. Upright Freezer with Temperature Alarm

Put a spotlight on your frozen favorites inside this 20 cu. ft. upright freezer with LED interior lighting. Activating Fast Freeze quickly drops the temperature to help lock in freshness and flavor, and the temperature alarm will notify you if the freezer gets too warm. The upright freezer prevents frost build-up for a hassle-free defrosting experience, and 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jfish41 from worst freezer I ever purchased I purchased the freezer in 2016. Within the warranty period the control box went out. Lost a lot of food whichis not covered. They replaced the control and in April 2018 the control went out again. Since it was not covered under the warranty I did have protection plan with Home Depot which did cover the part. Lost some food but not too bad. In October 2018 the control panel went out again. It has not=w been replaced. Contacted whirlpool with no help or relief that this should be considered a lemon. Now all I can do is wait for it to go out again and it will be considered a lemon under the protection plan. Will never purchase another Whirlpool product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JasonR from Died after 1.5 years I never expected that I would see a repair bill to replace a dead compressor on a freezer that costs 50% more than what I purchased the appliance for... But I have. Not only am I out the freezer, but I'm out $400 in frozen meat for my troubles, plus the crazy high power bill for the last month where it was failing. I'm sure Whirlpool will try to convince me that it was simply a self-defrost feature, where it defrosted my food, wasted my money, and made an awful smell in my home while I was on vacation. "Temperature alarm" - Doesn't make any noise when temperature drops outside of acceptable levels.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Up a creek? from Hopefully, the third one last a couple of years. So, two years ago we bought the previous model to this one. We didn’t elect for the extended coverage (typically freezers don’t get a lot of abuse). That freezer died just over a year after purchasing. We bought the replacement which lasted 2 weeks before it died. At this point we have lost 2 freezers full of food in under month. When we called and asked for a replacement, we were informed that we would have to go through the repair process. The repair company said we would have to order parts, schedule install and then see if they fixed the problem. All told they said to not expect to be able to use the freezer for at least 4 weeks. On a 2 week old freezer???

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Bought this to replace chest type. Have bought Whirlpool all my life. Have had excellent results with their products. Chest freezer I replaced was 45 years old whirlpool & never did anything but put food in & take out. Still works great. Biggest problem was buying ahead & losing track of food & it freezer burning. Plan on new freezer being able to keep track of food. Keep it used in timelier manner. Will sure enjoy self defrost feature also. Appliance dealer I have purchased from for many years is planning to retire soon & sure will miss his excellent service these past years. Luckily I have needed very little service. Purchasing excellent products is main reason for this.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Linda1965 from Very quiet. Keeps everything consistently frozen. It is reassuring that there is an alarm system built in so, if the unit stops working, I will be aware of the problem before my food can thaw and spoil. The racks on the door that hold flat boxes is not big enough to hold 3 pizzas deep or wide. The most I can get in is 5 and those are really tight. Also, when the unit is filled the lighting leave a lot to be desired. The "cheese and butter" keeper on the door is rather unusual and not very practical. I had space left over due to odd size and need to get the clear lid closed when filled. I really like the shallow wire basket as it is very versatile.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from No headline We have owned this frig for a little less than a year (I think). I don't think my review will win me anything, but here it is. My momma always told me to give commendation first. It is a very pretty frig. However, I don't care for the sensitivity of stainless steel. My biggest complaint would be how hard it is to remove the drawers for cleaning, almost impossible. Also the way the drawers are designed, food gets in under the plastic and can't get it out for cleaning. I think you should have a couple of ordinary housewives (term is probably politically incorrect) on your design team!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DukesDeal from Fantastic Freezer What an outstanding freezer.... our last one failed unexpectedly and after checking around, we encountered the local Whirlpool dealer who recommended this line. After looking at all of the features this unit offered, we decided to go with it and could not have been a happier decision. This unit is very roomy and does it's work quietly and effectively.... within 6 hours, our items from the old freezer were back at a safe temperature and safely organized in our new Whirlpool freezer. Happily we now have an alarm that will alert us to any problems with temperature... never had this before.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Doc "chopper John" from Reliable, simple operation and dependable We chose this similar sized freezer to replace our previous model of a competitor's make because although it was less than 18 months old, the intricate electric panel controls were never correct and failed often making it unfit. We had absolutely no help from the dealer or the maker and lost not only some food but several hundred dollars... but we made sure it would be recycled and NOT resold. We have always had at least one Whirlpool appliance in our home and we trust them to work as designed, and they do without fail. On the negative side; my wife is not completely happy with the door compartment design, but she is making it work well enough for us now.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great if you will always be home We bought this for the same reason many do - to stock up on food items and, hopefully, save money.We didn't even have this for a month when there was a short electricity bump in our neighborhood causing everything to shut off for a few seconds and come right back on. However, this did not come back on. I wasn't home at the time and a full freezer worth of food was ruined.Customer service was not helpful at all. They actually tried to make it seem as if I were my fault for not being home. It seems that I should constantly monitor the freezer and if it shuts off for even a second I am to go and unplug it for half an hour and then plug it in and turn it back on.When I mentioned that I have never heard of a freezer that you had to manually restart it was implied that all freezers are like that. Not true. Most, like your refrigerators, will come back on when power is on. The outage at my home was less than a minute I found out.However, since then, just a few days later I opened the freezer to make sure everything had been thrown away prior to it being picked up (we did not want something we couldn't depend on) when I discovered that it was off again. This time there was not a power outage at all. Just a faulty freezer.We lost a lot of money in food and a lot of blueberries that were picked during blueberry season at our home.Terrible customer service!
