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.

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.”

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Important information to know about disposal of

refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local

regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,

EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with

established procedures.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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.

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.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household

use only.

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

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, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished,

reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn

Cooling ON. See “Using the Control(s).”

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure 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).

■ 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 use. 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.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

10

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.

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

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water is

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

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" household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a

minimum ¹⁄₂" size 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.

Connect to Refrigerator

Follow the connection instructions specific to 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.

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 it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube

connection. Obtain a water strainer from your appliance

dealer.

Complete the Installation

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

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

access the brake feet.

NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the break

feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will

be touching the floor.

2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.

3. Using the ¹⁄₄" hex nut driver, lower the brake feet. Turn them

clockwise, until the rollers are off the floor and both brake feet

are snug against the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from

rolling forward when opening the refrigerator doors or freezer

drawer.

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments

involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the

same amount to keep the refrigerator level.

4. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the

door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to

“Align the Doors.” If, however, the doors do not close easily

or the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.

To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

■ Open the freezer drawer. Use a ¹⁄₄" hex nut driver to turn

both brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will

raise the front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns

to allow the doors to close easier.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This

makes it easier to turn them.

5. Make sure the doors are even at the top and that the space

between the bottom of the refrigerator doors and the top of

the freezer drawer is even. If necessary, align the doors.

To Align the Doors:

■ Keeping both refrigerator doors closed, pull out the

refrigerated drawer. Locate the bottom hinge pin of the

right-hand refrigerator door. The alignment screw is inside

the bottom hinge pin.

■ Insert the short end of the ¹⁄₈" hex key wrench (packed

with the Door Handle Installation Instructions) into the

bottom hinge pin until it is fully engaged in the alignment

screw.

To raise the door, turn the hex key to the right.

To lower the door, turn the hex key to the left.

■ Continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are

aligned.

6. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems

unsteady or rolls forward when a door or drawer is pulled

open, adjust the brake feet.

To Steady the Refrigerator:

■ Open the freezer drawer. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn both

brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet

are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied,

continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the

screw until the refrigerator does not roll forward when the

drawer is opened.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This

makes it easier to turn the screws.

7. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with

the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille

into place.

Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT:

■ Allow 3 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The dispensing system will not operate when either the

refrigerator door or freezer drawer is open.

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 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.

Calibrate Measured Fill

Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the

Measured Fill feature. So, for optimum performance of your water

dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.

IMPORTANT:

■ Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill.

■ For best results, calibration should be performed when water

is not being used in the house.

1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the

dispenser tray centered in front of the ice/water dispenser

paddle.

NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be

provided.

2. Press and hold the OPTIONS and LOCK buttons at the same

time for 3 seconds. The words “Back” and “1 Cup” will

appear on the display screen. Also, the Calibrate Measured

Fill icon will illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill

feature is being calibrated.

NOTE: You may press ICE/WATER “Back” at any time to exit

calibration mode. The Calibrate Measured Fill icon will

disappear.

3. Press and release the ice/water dispenser paddle, as needed,

to dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.

NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and

press ICE/WATER “Back” to restart the calibration process.

measuring cup, press the MEASURED FILL button under the

word “Confirm” to confirm the calibration.

5. When Measured Fill calibration has been confirmed the icons

will disappear and the display will return to the home screen.

Dispensing

Press ICE/WATER to toggle through the following choices in a

continuous loop:

■ Water (default) - Dispenses water

■ Cubed - Dispenses cubed ice.

■ Crushed - Dispenses crushed ice

NOTES:

■ The word “ICE” appears on the display screen when

either crushed or cubed 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.

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 (237 mL) 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 “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.

To Dispense Water (Standard):

1. Select water.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle.

NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after

dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how

much water has been dispensed.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water

with the touch of a few controls.

NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be

sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If

ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

1. Press MEASURED FILL to turn on the feature. When the

feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display.

NOTES:

■ The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill

after 1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned

off, any changes you have made will be lost and all

defaults will be restored.

■ Press ICE/WATER “Back,” to manually turn off the

Measured Fill feature.

2. Press LIGHT, under Units, to toggle among ounce, cup and

liter. The default unit is ounce.

Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed below.

3. Press LOCK or OPTIONS to adjust the water volume as

desired. The LOCK control increases the volume, and the

OPTIONS control lowers the volume.

NOTES:

■ When increasing or decreasing the dispense volumes, if

an adjustment button (-/+) is held for approximately

10 seconds or longer the control may stop responding.

Release the button for approximately 2 seconds and then

continue making the adjustment.

■ Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL]

per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz

[237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid

unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.
