It seems like all new refrigerators are much louder than the models made 20+ years ago. It isn’t specific to just Whirlpool. I think the chinese or whoever is making them now skimp on materials to make them as cheap as possible.
I bought a KitchenAid, had it for about 6 months. Made them order new doors, (scratches) and the doors would not seal. So this Whirlpool is a replacement, lol.
