A white 16-cu.-ft. manual-defrost chest freezer with three wire baskets and a same-cavity refrigerator mode. Whirlpool's family dimension guide describes 32–110°F as the normally most-efficient location range; the finder uses that conservative range only for freezer operation, not as a hard operating cutoff or a refrigerator-mode limit.

Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- A candidate for a home wanting a 16.0-cu.-ft. top-opening chest with three basket levels and an alternate refrigerator mode. Compared with the two-basket WZC5116LW, Whirlpool documents one additional wire basket; the other key reviewed care and freezer-mode limits are similar.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- The three-basket package does not change the wide 55.3-in. planning footprint or top-opening access. Manual defrost remains an owner task, the door-open alarm is explicitly absent, and the guide's 32–110°F range describes normal efficient placement only; refrigerator-mode room limits and transition timing are not established.
