How much food fits in the Whirlpool WRSF5036TZ?

It offers about 25 cu ft total, split between the refrigerator and freezer sides. That is typical for a 36-inch side-by-side and enough for a family of four.

Does the ice maker take up freezer shelf space?

No. The ice bin sits in the freezer door, so the shelves stay usable. The trade-off is a bulkier freezer door.

What is the difference from a French-door refrigerator?

A French-door model gives a wide, full-width fridge shelf and a pull-out freezer drawer. This side-by-side gives two tall, narrow columns, so wide items fit less easily.

Is the finish really fingerprint-resistant?

Whirlpool uses a fingerprint-resistant stainless coating on this model. It wipes clean more easily than standard stainless, though it still shows smudges over time.

Does it need a water line?

Yes. The ice and water dispenser requires a plumbed water connection, so plan for a line behind the refrigerator.

The refrigerator, its shelves and bins, and the in-door ice bucket. Water line and installation parts are generally not included.

Our take on the Whirlpool WRSF5036TZ 36 in. 25 cu ft Side-by-Side Refrigerator

The Whirlpool WRSF5036TZ is a 36-inch side-by-side refrigerator with about 25 cu ft of total capacity, an in-door ice and water dispenser, and a fingerprint-resistant stainless finish. Its in-door ice bin frees up freezer shelf space, and adjustable gallon door bins take tall jugs on the fridge side. It suits households that want a full-width side-by-side with dispensed water and ice without paying for a French-door or counter-depth design. Against rivals, it is a straightforward, roomy option; owners of Whirlpool side-by-sides often note the dispenser convenience but also report the narrower freezer shelves and dispenser noise typical of the layout.
