Whirlpool ARC 5560 with bottom freezer

I have a Whirlpool ARC 5560 fridge, with bottom freezer. We bought it 3-4 years ago, simply because it looked good, it was big, economcally efficient (A class), and was recommended to us by the store.

The price and 3 year guarantee was also a factor which influenced our purchase. I believe it's energy effcient since when we are away and just the fridge is on we pay low electricity bills.

We have never had it repaired until now, but there is some slight problem with its side walls (on the inside) getting constantly wet. We adjusted the temperature to a lower degree but they still get wet. When we get back from a holiday I throw several cups of water from it.

Another thing I don't like is the difficulty of closing the door of the freezer. Once my 7-year old son didn't manage to close it well, and the next morning the whole freezer compartment was covered wth ice, including the freezer door. We stopped the freezer to unfreeze it, after which there was water all around.

And, another disadvantage is that you don't have big freedom to displace the fridge shelves. If I want the bottle shelf moved on top, for example, that isn't possible. Before this fridge we had owned a Zanussi which was too small, and had no freezer compartment. Otherwise was good.

I was freezing breast milk for my youngest and that's why wanted to have a bigger fridge wth a separate freezer compartment. I consider the current fridge not much better than the old one, with the exception of size.

My next fridge would have something that would eliminate smell, would perhaps allow for easier door closing, and would allow to place things (bottles, etc) in a more convenent / less spacy way.

I would also prefer to have a silver color as the current white one gets dirty easily, and does not match the colors of my kitchen. My name is Svetlana, Sofia, Bulgaria
