Questions and answers

Is this Whirlpool side-by-side worth it at $1,149?
At $1,149 at Lowe's as of November 5, 2026, it is a fair price for a 24.6 cu. ft. side-by-side with an ice and water dispenser. It makes sense if you need the capacity and a standard 36-inch fit; it is less compelling if low energy use matters to you.
Will it fit a standard 36-inch opening?
Yes. It is 36 in. wide, 69-5/8 in. tall and 31-5/8 in. deep with the doors closed and handles excluded. Leave extra clearance behind and beside it for airflow and door swing.
Is it Energy Star certified?
No. It is not Energy Star certified and uses about 702 kWh per year, so expect higher running costs than a certified model.
Does it have an ice maker and water dispenser?
Yes. Both are built into the door, and the freezer section is 9.11 cu. ft. The dispenser needs a water line plumbed to the fridge.
Is it counter depth?
No. It is a standard-depth refrigerator at 31-5/8 in. closed, so it will stand out past standard 24-inch counters, plus the reach-through handles.
When is the price lowest?
Major appliance sales around holidays and Black Friday tend to bring the deepest discounts on side-by-sides. Check the price history before buying; $1,149 at Lowe's is the best new price as of November 5, 2026.
Where is the Whirlpool 36 in. Side-by-Side Refrigerator cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $1,149.00, 18% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
