REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

See other models: CED9060AW27 WFW85HEFW4.5 WGD8620HW27 WED7500GC27 CGD9060AW27
These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

Remove the Packaging

■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the refrigerator to OFF. Depending on your model, either turn the freezer control to the word OFF, or press the Minus sign touch pads repeatedly until a dash (–) appears in both the Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the temperature controls to the desired setting. See “Using the Controls.”

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two adjustable wrenches

■ ¹⁄₄" Nut driver

■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

IMPORTANT:

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ For models with water filters, the disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks. If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following Whirlpool Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a ¹⁄₂" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower right rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Connect to Refrigerator

Depending on your model, the water line may come down from the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions for your model.

Style 1

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.

Style 2

1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm]) with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing.

2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight into the port to avoid kinks.

4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into the water valve inlet port.

5. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn the compression nut on the copper tubing counterclockwise to completely tighten. Do not overtighten.

6. Check connection by pulling on copper tubing. Attach the plastic water line to the refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

7. Turn on water supply to the refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.

Refrigerator Door(s) and Drawer

TOOLS NEEDED: ⁵⁄₁₆", ³⁄₈", ¹⁄₄" hex head socket wrenches, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, and a flat-blade screwdriver.

IMPORTANT:

■ Your refrigerator has a standard reversible refrigerator door with either a freezer door or freezer drawer, or French doors. Follow the instructions specific to the door style of your model.

■ All graphics referenced in the following instructions are included later in this section after “Final Steps.” The graphics shown for the standard door are for a right-hand swing refrigerator (hinges factory installed on the right).

■ If you only want to remove and replace the doors see “Remove Doors and Hinges” and “Replace Doors and Hinges.”

■ Before you begin, turn the refrigerator control OFF, and remove food and adjustable door or utility bins from the doors.

Standard Door

■ To replace the handle, align the handle on the door or drawer as shown. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the handle with the handle screws.

■ To replace the handle trim pieces, using your hand, apply firm pressure on the face of the trim and slide the trim piece toward the center of the handle.

■ To remove handles, reverse directions.

French Doors

■ To remove the handle, use a ³⁄₃₂" hex key to loosen the two setscrews located on the side of each handle. Pull the handle straight out from the door or drawer. Make sure you keep the screws for reattaching the handles. See Handle graphics 1 and 2.

■ To replace the handles, reverse the directions.

7. Remove the hinge plate located behind the roller bracket and move it to the opposite side of the refrigerator. Move the hinge pin and shim to the outside hole on the hinge plate. See Graphic 6.

Door Closing and Door Alignment

The base grille covers the leveling screws and roller assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet below the freezer door or drawer. Before making adjustments, remove the base grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.

1. Remove the two screws fastening the base grille to the cabinet, and set the screws aside. Grasp the grille and pull it toward you.

2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.

NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the leveling legs off the floor by turning the leveling screws counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.

3. So the doors will close easier, use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both leveling screws clockwise. This will raise the front of the refrigerator tilting it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both leveling screws the same amount.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to turn the screws.

4. Open and close the doors to make sure they close as easily as you like. If not, increase the tilt by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to allow the doors to close easier.

5. Check for door alignment. If one door is lower than the other, adjust the leveling screw, on the lower side of the refrigerator. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator until the doors are aligned. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to raise the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to turn the screws

6. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems unsteady or rolls forward when the door or drawer is opened adjust the leveling screws. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side clockwise until the rollers are up and the leveling feet are firmly against the floor.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to turn the screws.

7. Replace the base grille by aligning the holes in the grille with the holes in the cabinet and fasten using the screws removed in Step 1.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Opening and Closing Doors (French door models)

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together. There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

■ When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

■ When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors.

Ice Maker (on some models)

IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water Dispenser.”

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down

NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.

Ice Production Rate

■ The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice approximately every 3 hours.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Remember

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Water Dispenser (on some models)

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again.

■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

Dispensing Water

1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the button.

2. Release the button to stop dispensing.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

3. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency. If you need to clean the condenser:

■ Remove the base grille.

■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.

■ Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is connected to the household water supply, turn off the water supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the water supply is not turned off.

3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.

NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position, or press the switch to OFF.

4. Empty the ice bin.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF, depending on your model.

3. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Control(s).”

4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

Changing the Light Bulb

IMPORTANT: The light bulbs in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments of your new refrigerator use LED technology. If the lights do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/or freezer door is opened, call for assistance or service. In the U.S.A., call 1-800-253-1301. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.

■ To replace the burned-out LED bulb with an LED bulb, order Whirlpool part number W10565137 (3.6 watts).

NOTE: Some LED replacement bulbs are not recommended for wet/damp environments. The refrigerator and freezer compartments are considered to be wet/damp environments. If using a brand of LED bulb other than the Whirlpool recommended LED bulb, before installation, read and follow all instructions on the LED packaging.

■ If an incandescent bulb is used to replace an LED bulb, use only incandescent bulbs for household appliances with a maximum of 40 watts.

4. Replace the light shield.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

■ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker

■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance

■ Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator

Temperature and Moisture

Temperature is too warm

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

■ Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

■ Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

■ Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Control(s).”

Ice and Water

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on model) is in the ON position.

■ New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

■ Freezer door closed completely? Firmly close the freezer compartment door. If the freezer compartment door will not close all the way, see “The doors will not close completely,” earlier in this section.

■ Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

■ Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

The ice cubes are hollow or small

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

■ Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice quality improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a licensed, qualified plumber.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? Straighten the water source line.

■ New installation? Flush and fill the water system. See “Water Dispenser.”

■ Is the water pressure at least 35 psi (241 kPa)? The water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Refrigerator door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely,” earlier in this section.

■ Recently removed the doors? Make sure the water dispenser wire/tube assembly has been properly reconnected. See “Refrigerator Door(s) and Drawer.”

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■ New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.

■ Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.

■ Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof packaging to store food.

■ Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated. See “Water Filtration System.”

Water from the dispenser is warm

NOTE: Water from the dispenser is only chilled to 50°F (10°C).

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the water supply to cool completely.

■ Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hours for water supply to cool completely.

■ Water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.

■ Refrigerator connected to a cold water pipe? Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
