Just in case my reader (singular) comes back, I'd like to suggest, with no details (because the details are disgusting), that he/she avoid buying Whirlpool fridges in the future.

Now I know google and yahoo index this page as well, so maybe a search brought you here. And maybe you wanted to know the details. Well OK.

It's been a year since I moved into this place, and the fridge I bought has been fine, so far. Last night though, I noticed an "accumulation" of something solid on my bottom freezer's top edge. Further investigation revealed this to be milk dripping through the fridge door tray, THROUGH the inside of the fridge, into the freezer compartment, THROUGH the inside bottom of the freezer, and piling up on my floor. See I told you it was disgusting.

Cleanup of the externally accessible parts of the fridge went well enough, and even cleaning the floor wasn't so bad. BUT how the hell am I supposed to clean the insulation, into which the liquid has soaked. Well, with a little bit of research on the net it seems this is impossible, and for insulation to be "fixed", it has to be replaced. Fabulous.

So I'm just going to wait it out, see how this thing smells in a week or so, and decide from there. But I know for sure any possible replacement will not be a Whirlpool fridge, and it definitely will have excessive spill protection.
