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

Tighten screws.
8. Replace the ice storage bin (on some models) and any
adjustable door or utility bins.
9. Plug refrigerator into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet — one on the right
and one on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should be
steady when both feet are touching the floor. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily,
adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. If necessary, open
both doors to 90° and remove the base grille. See Graphic 1.
2. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side
of the product. See Graphic 8.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to
make adjustments.
3. Use a ¹⁄₄" open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the
leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side
of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that side of the
product.
4. Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning the leveling feet to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling feet the same
amount.
5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the
leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the
ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.
Door Alignment
A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to
have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this
way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the
leveling.
The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the
refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food
that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned
after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food,
follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.
1. If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base
grille. See Graphic 1.
2. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the
refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.
3. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" open-ended or adjustable wrench to turn the screw.
To raise the refrigerator door, turn the screw to the right. To
lower the door, turn the screw to the left.
4. Check that the doors are even at the top. If necessary,
continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are
aligned.
5. Open both doors to 90°. Replace the base grille. See
Graphic 1.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to lift the freezer door.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ¹⁄₂"
(1.27 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of 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 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on
your model) to allow the doors to swing open.
NOTES:
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.
Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product
installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed
against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper
pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width
is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54"
(137.16 cm) is recommended.

Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
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 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, and then 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 “Using the Controls” in the
User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
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:
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with
your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
IMPORTANT:
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 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.
If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation is
complete, use the water dispenser to check the 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 of
water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than
recommended. See “Problem Solver” for suggestions.
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 30 and 120 psi (207 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.
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” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care
Guide.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Connect 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.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Flat-blade screwdriver
⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
¹⁄₄" nut driver

Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Style 1 (Recommended)
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a
¹⁄₂" copper household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a
minimum ¹⁄₂" size copper household supply line is
recommended.
4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff
valve. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper 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. 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.
5. 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.
6. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is
located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown.
Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a
¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm) to 1¹⁄₄" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower rear corner of 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" (6.35 mm) 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" (6.35 mm)
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, or you may crush the copper tubing.
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 the compression
nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not
overtighten.
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. Coil the copper
tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
Style 1
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.

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.
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 pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
2. Repeat Step 1 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 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
Dispense at least 1 qt (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 of
water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than
recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” or
“Problem Solver” for suggestions.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad. Hold
the glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the
water dispenses into the glass.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser pad is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the
ICE TYPE button.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

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 use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or
storage bin.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin
has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on

odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on 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. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
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:

Motor seems to
run too much
Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than
you’re used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more
energy-efficient. This is normal.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is added,
the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
Refrigerator seems noisy The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates temperature more efficiently and uses less energy
than older models. During various stages of operation, you may hear normal operating sounds that
are unfamiliar.
The following noises are normal:
Buzzing/Clicking - Heard when the water valve opens and closes to dispense water or fill the ice
maker. If the refrigerator is connected to a water line, this is normal. If the refrigerator is not
connected to a water line, turn off the ice maker.
Cracking/Crashing - Heard when ice is ejected from the ice maker mold.
Popping - Heard when the inside walls contract/expand, especially during initial cooldown.
Pulsating/Whirring - Heard when the fans/compressor adjust to optimize performance during
normal operation.
Rattling - Heard when water passes through the water line, or due to the flow of refrigerant.
Rattling may also come from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
Water running or gurgling - Heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into
the drain pan.
Sizzling - Heard when water drips onto the heater during the defrost cycle.
Electrical Shock Hazard

Temperature is too warm New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either
compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows warm air to enter the
refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are
properly sealed.
Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.
Large amount of warm food recently added - Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return
to its normal temperature.

leveling feet until they touch the floor. See the leveling and door alignment instructions.
ICE AND WATER Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Ice maker is not
producing ice,
not producing
enough ice,
or producing
small/hollow ice
Refrigerator is not connected to a water supply, or the water supply shutoff valve is not fully
turned on - Connect the refrigerator to a water supply and make sure the water shutoff valve is
fully open.
Kink in the water source line - A kink in the water line can reduce water flow, resulting in decreased ice
production, small ice cubes, and/or hollow or irregularly-shaped ice. Straighten the water line.
Ice maker is not turned on - Turn on the ice maker. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
New installation - After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system.
(See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”) Wait 24 hours for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice
production. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Large amount of ice was recently removed - Allow sufficient time for the ice maker to produce
more ice.
Ice is jammed in the ice maker ejector arm - Remove ice from the ejector arm using a plastic utensil.
Inadequate water pressure - Verify that the household has adequate water pressure. See “Water
Supply Requirements.”
Water filter is installed incorrectly - Make sure the filter is properly installed. See “Water Filtration
System.”
A reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply - This can
decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
NOTE: If questions remain regarding water pressure, contact a licensed, qualified plumber.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Cut Hazard

production. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Ice maker is not turned on, or ice bin is not installed correctly - Turn on the ice maker and make sure
the ice storage bin is firmly in position. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Ice is clogged or frozen together in the ice storage bin, or ice is blocking the ice delivery
chute - Remove or separate the clogged ice, using a plastic utensil if necessary. Clean the ice delivery
chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm damp cloth, then dry both thoroughly. To avoid
clogging and to maintain a fresh supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the storage bin and
the delivery chute every 2 weeks.
Wrong ice has been added to the storage bin - Use only ice cubes produced by the current ice maker.
Dispenser is locked - Unlock the dispenser. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
Ice dispenser jams while dispensing crushed ice - For models with the ice storage bin on the door,
temporarily switch from crushed ice to cubed ice to clear the jam.
Dispenser pad/lever has been pressed too long - Ice will automatically stop dispensing. Wait a few
minutes for the dispenser to reset, then resume dispensing. Take large amounts of ice directly from the
ice bin, not through the dispenser.
Water pressure to the home is not at or above 30 psi (207 kPa) - The water pressure to the home
affects the flow from the dispenser. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
Water filter is clogged or incorrectly installed - Replace filter or reinstall it correctly. See “Water
Filtration System.”
Ice or water has an
off-taste, odor,
or gray color
New plumbing connections - New plumbing connections can result in off-flavored or discolored ice or
water. This problem should go away over time.
Ice has been stored too long - Discard the ice and wash the ice bin. Allow 24 hours for the ice maker to
produce new ice.
Odor has transferred from food - Use airtight moisture-proof packaging to store food.

Glass was not held under the dispenser long enough - Hold the glass under the dispenser for
2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser pad/lever.
New installation, or water filter was recently installed or replaced - Air in the water lines causes the
water dispenser to drip. Flush the water system to remove the air in the water lines. See “Water and Ice
Dispensers.”
Residual ice in the dispenser chute is melting - Make sure the ice chute is free of ice shavings or
pieces.
Water is leaking
from the back of the
refrigerator
