REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT:

  • Because air circulates between all sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean all sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
  • 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 doors and cabinet, plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
  • For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the following cleaning instructions.

Cleaning the Touch Screen Display on the Dispenser Panel (on some models):

  1. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged or the power is disconnected before wiping the screen to avoid unintentionally changing the settings.
  2. Mix a solution of mild detergent in warm water. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with the solution and gently wipe the screen. NOTE: Do not spray or wipe liquids directly onto the screen or over-saturate the cloth.
  3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Cleaning the Interior:

IMPORTANT: Refrigerator shelves with under-shelf, LED lighting are not dishwasher safe.

  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. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Cleaning the Exterior:

IMPORTANT: Damage to smooth finish due to improper use of cleaning products or using non-recommended cleaning products is not covered under the warranty. Sharp or blunt instruments will mar the finish.

  • Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
  • Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water, wash, rinse, and thoroughly dry stainless steel and painted metal exteriors.

To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved stainless steel cleaner and polish. This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

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

Do not allow the stainless steel cleaner and polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers, or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Refrigerator Shelves

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.
  • The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.
  • Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy

Glass Shelves

To remove a shelf:

  • Remove items from the shelf.
  • Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.
  • Depending on your model, lift the back or front of the shelf past the stop. Pull the shelf out the rest of the way.

To replace a shelf:

  • Slide the back of the shelf into the track in the wall of the cabinet.
  • Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide the shelf in all the way.

Shelves with Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/shelf frame:

  • Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports.
  • Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.
  • Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position.

Opening and Closing Doors

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together. On some models, there is a, automatic closing mechanism so the door(s) will not unintentionally be left open. If a door is open at a 40° or smaller angle, the door will automatically, softly close.

IMPORTANT: If the doors do not automatically close at a 40° or smaller angle, see “Bottom Door Hinge.”

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

  • When the left-hand 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.

The refrigerator compartment door switch is located in the top left and right hinge cover.

  • The door switch uses magnet to sense door opening/closing.
  • Ensure there are no magnet or electronic devices (Speaker, CoolVox®, etc) within 3 inches of the hinge cap.

NOTE: The light and internal user interface (UI) will not turn on if the door opening is not detected.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: This appliance is intended to be used indoor for household and similar applications such as:

  • Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments.
  • Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments.
  • Bed and breakfast type environments.
  • Catering and similar non-retail applications.

NOTE: If the manufacturer wants to limit the use of the appliance to less than the above, this has to be clearly stated in the instructions.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2" (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 33/4" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Electrical Requirements

Recommended Grounding Method

  • A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC-only 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
  • IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of the food.
  • NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to Off. On models with a digital temperature control, press the minus sign touch pads repeatedly until a dash (-) appears in both the freezer and refrigerator displays. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn cooling on or reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See the “Quick Start Guide”.

Water Supply Requirements

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

  • Connect to potable water supply only. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
  • 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 or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper or PEX 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.

Water Pressure

  • A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
  • NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

  • Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
  • Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator. NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.
  • If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration System”.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker.

  • Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
  • Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
  • Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a 1/2" copper or PEX household supply line. NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2" size copper or PEX household supply line is recommended.

  • Now you are ready to connect the copper or PEX tubing to the shutoff valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft copper or PEX tubing to connect the shutoff valve and the refrigerator.

Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper tubing as shown. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves and compression nuts preinstalled.) Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

  • Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe. NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible water valve malfunction.
  • Bend the copper or PEX tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet. Leave a coil of copper or PEX tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

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

  • Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper or PEX tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Confirm copper or PEX tubing is secure by pulling on tubing.
  • Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the tubing. Secure copper or PEX tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

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

Style 2

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end of the water line inlet.

3. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.

4. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply line to reduce strain on the coupling.

5. Turn shutoff valve on.

6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

7. On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water strainer, install in the 1/4ʺ (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your appliance dealer.

Complete the Installation

  • Plug into a grounded 3–prong outlet.

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

  • Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Crisper Humidity Control (on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Depending on your model, adjust the control to any setting between

  • Fruit and Vegetables or Low and High. Fruit/Low (open): Move control to allow moist air out of the crisper for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
    • Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
    • Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
  • Vegetables/High (closed): Move control to keep moist air in the crisper for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
    • Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.

Water and Ice Dispensers (on some models)

For additional information on how to use your water and ice dispensers, see the online “Dispensing Guide.”

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 pad 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 pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gallon (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.
  • Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
  • Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
  • The dispenser will dispense either water or ice.
  • The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator door is open.
  • On some models, the display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

Flush the Water System

Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.

Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

  1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
  2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
  3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gallon (12 L) has been dispensed.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense at least 1 quart (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

  • With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.
  • If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” and online “Troubleshooting” for more information.

Cleaning the Ice Dispenser Chute

Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.

If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

  • If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute, using a plastic utensil.
  • Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water and Ice Dispenser” for details.

  • Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin.
  • For models with a water filter, after connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use.
  • 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.
  • If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice using a plastic utensil and discard ice. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.
  • Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Ice Production Rate

  • Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
  • Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg) (8 to 12 batches) of ice in a 24-hour period.
  • To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature, or see “Control Panel Descriptions” in the Quick Start Guide for details. Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Ice Maker in the Freezer

Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:

Turn the Ice Maker On/Off for Icemaker without a switch:

To turn on the ice maker, 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.

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.

For icemakers with a switch: For icemakers with a switch, use the switch to turn ON or Off the icemaker.

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.

Wash the ice storage bin with mild soap and warm water.

Slide the ice storage bin under the ice maker and push it toward the back as far as it will go.

Auto Ice Storage Bin (on some models):

Your ice storage bin has a lever which allows the storage bin to slide out with the drawer when it is pulled open or to stay in place.

  • Move the lever to the right to attach the ice storage bin to the freezer drawer.
  • Move the lever to the left to release the ice storage bin from the freezer drawer.

Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

Install the Water Filter

To order a replacement filter, contact us at www.whirlpool.com/ Parts & Accessories. See the “Quick Start Guide” for details.

Reset Bottom Refrigerator Door Hinge

For your convenience, the refrigerator doors have bottom hinges with door closers. These closers allow the doors to swing fully closed with just a gentle push.

IMPORTANT: So that the closers feature will operate properly, the doors must be removed only when open to a 90° angle to the front of the cabinet. If one or both doors were not at a 90° angle when removed, the bottom door hinge must be reset.

RESET THE DOOR HINGE

  • Lift the door from the bottom hinge pin and place it on a flat surface.
  • Using a driver with a #2 square bit, remove the bottom hinge with the bushing from the cabinet.

  • Insert the bottom hinge and bushing into the corresponding slot in the bottom of the door.
  • NOTE: Make sure that the base of the hinge is parallel to the bottom of the door.

  • Turn the hinge until the hinge base is at a 90° angle to the bottom edge of the door.

  • Remove the hinge from the door. Reattach the bottom hinge to the refrigerator cabinet.
  • The hinge is now reset and prepared for the door to be replaced.

Final Steps

  1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
  2. Reset the controls. See “Operating Instructions.”
  3. Return all removable door parts to doors and the food to refrigerator.

Align Refrigerated Drawer Fronts (on some models)

When the drawer fronts are aligned, the width of the vertical space (A) between the refrigerator doors (B) and the drawer fronts (C) is the same thickness, and the drawers appear level.

Aligning the drawer fronts is a two-step process. The first step is to adjust the drawer fronts up and down. The second step shifts the drawer fronts from side to side. Visually inspect the refrigerator for alignment and adjust the drawer fronts as needed.

Step 1 - Adjust the Drawer Fronts Up/Down

IMPORTANT: Each refrigerated drawer can be adjusted up and down on both the left and the right sides.

Tools Needed: Phillips screwdriver

1. With the drawers closed, identify the drawer front that needs to be raised or lowered.

2. Open the drawer to its full extension, and remove the interior bin.

3. Locate the drawer glide brackets.

4. Insert the Phillips screwdriver into tightening screw and turn counterclockwise to loosen the drawer front.

5. Insert the Phillips screwdriver into adjusting screw to adjust the drawer front.

IMPORTANT: The direction you turn the adjusting screw depends on which side of the drawer you are adjusting.

Left-Hand Side Drawer Glide

  • To raise the drawer front, turn adjusting screw clockwise.
  • To lower the drawer front, turn adjusting screw counterclockwise.

Right-Hand Side Drawer Glide

  • To raise the drawer front, turn adjusting screw counterclockwise.
  • To lower the drawer front, turn adjusting screw clockwise.

6. Insert the Phillips screwdriver into tightening screw, and turn clockwise to tighten the drawer front.

7. Close the refrigerated drawer to check the alignment. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until the drawer fronts are level.

Step 2 - Adjust the Drawer Fronts Side to Side

IMPORTANT: Each refrigerated drawer can be adjusted side to side on both the left and right side.

1. With the drawers closed, identify the drawer that is not aligned.

2. Open the drawer to its full extension, and remove the interior bin.

3. Locate the drawer glide brackets.

4. Starting with the glide bracket closest to the vertical gap, press and hold the release lever up. With your other hand, lift the door clip from the drawer glide bracket.

5. Reposition the drawer front clip onto the drawer glide bracket in the direction you want to move the drawer front. Make sure that the glide bracket is vertically level.

6. Release the lever to lock the glide bracket into position.

7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for the other side of the drawer front. NOTE: Adjust the clip on the top of the second glide bracket so that it is in the same position as the side you adjusted first.

8. Close the drawer and visually inspect the gap. Repeat steps 2 though 7 until the drawer fronts are aligned.

FINAL STEPS

  1. Replace the interior drawer bins. NOTE: The bins must be placed into the drawers correctly so that the refrigerated drawers will close and operate properly. See “Remove and Replace Drawer Fronts.”
  2. Close the refrigerated drawers.
