The Whirlpool GC5SHEXN offers you one of the best in side by side refrigerators today. The Radius Door Design gives your side-by-side refrigerator with flat doors a new, rounded edges look for a more elegant look. They also help prevent injury to fingers that can get pinched when the door is fully open.

The EZ-Touch Crushed/Cubed Ice and Water Dispenser easily accomodates oversized cups, sports bottles, and tumblers. Light-touch dispensing paddles push back so easily even a Styrofoam cup is filled without breaking. An on/off light serves as a convenient night light to eliminate spilling after dark, and the lockout feature prevents little hands from making a big mess.

No need to worry that the water dispenser is giving you plain, old tap water! The 6-Month UltraEase Water Filtration System removes dirt, rust, chlorine, odor and lead. The filter is conveniently located in the base grille so it's quick and easy to change.

Whirlpool Refrigerators use the Accu-Chill System with Foam-In-Place Doors and Double Tub Construction to maintain the correct temperature in both the fresh-food and the freezer compartments. The result is increased strength and accurate temperature control for storing food and beverages.

The Adjustable SpillGuard Glass Shelvesare glass shelves that are transparent for a cleaner, brighter interior. Adjust them up, down or remove them completely. Their raised edges contain up to a 12 oz. spill without overflowing.

The Adjustable Opaque Gallon Door Bins helps free up interior space with these adjustable door bins that can even hold a gallon of milk.
