PARTS AND FEATURES

What’s New Behind the Doors?

Your Whirlpool

®

French Door Refrigerator comes equipped with various

innovative storage and energy efficient features.

Energy and Normal Operating Sounds

Your new French Door Bottom Mount refrigerator has been

designed to optimize energy efficiency, and better regulate

temperatures to match cooling demand. You may notice that it

operates differently from your previously owned refrigerator. It is

normal for the high-efficiency compressor to run for extended

periods of time at varying speeds in order to consume only the

energy necessary for optimum efficiency. In addition, during

various stages of the cooling cycle, you may hear normal

operating sounds tha

t are unfami

liar to you.

More Storage Space

The French Door Bottom Mount has the most fresh food storage

space available, including a full-width, temperature controlled,

pantry drawer perfect for storing veggie trays or party platters.

In-Door-Ice

®

Ice Dispensing System

The ice storage bin located in the door provides an entire extra

shelf of storage space, and the storage bin is removable for easy

access to filtered ice.

Dual Evaporator (on some models)

The refrigerator and freezer compartments have dedicated

evaporators to provide fresh and frozen foods with separate

climates. Frozen food stays cold and dry, while fresh food

remains at the ideal temperature and humidity.

WARNING

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

11

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 and approved accessories 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 OFF Cooling, and then disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished,

reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn ON

Cooling. 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

12

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 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 OFF the ice maker.

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" (12.7 mm) 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) O.D. (outside diameter) 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment

The base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller

assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the

freezer drawer. Before making any adjustments, remove the base

grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.

Tools Needed: ¹⁄₄" hex driver

Tools Provided: ¹⁄₈" hex key wrench

1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it

toward you. Open the freezer drawer to 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. Lower the brake feet, by turning 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 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.

Style 1

Style 2

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

freezer 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 refrigerator 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 the 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.

(on some models)

An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at

reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator.

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes

an air filter, which must be installed prior to use.

Installing the Air Filter

Install the air filter behind the vented door, located on the rear

wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.

1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.

2. Lift open the vented door.

the User Guide, Use and Care Guide or User Instructions for

information on ordering.

1. Remove the used air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.

2. Remove the used status indicator.

3. Install the new air filter and filter status indicator using the

instructions in the previous sections.

Install Produce Preserver

(on some models)

The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening

process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce

items will stay fresh longer.

Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type

of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate

produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce

moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

Installing the Produce Preserver

1. Find the Produce Preserver housing inside the refrigerator.

2. Open the housing by pulling up and out on the back.

3. Remove the Produce Preserver pouches from the packaging

and place them into the housing.

NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.

4. Adhere the Produce Preserver housing to the back wall of the

crisper drawer according to the instructions included in the

package.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Opening and Closing Doors

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-hand refrigerator 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.

Using the Controls

The controls are located above the external dispenser.

IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel

will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the

control buttons and dispenser paddles have not been used for

2 minutes or more. Press any control button to reactivate the

display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.

Viewing and Adjusting Temperature Set Points

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are

preset at the factory.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still set to the recommended set points. The factory

recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and

0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you

add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your

food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than

recommended setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

■ The recommended settings should be correct for normal

household use. The controls are set correctly when milk or

juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

NOTE: Areas such as a garage, basement or porch, may

have higher humidity or extreme temperatures. You may need

to adjust the temperature away from the recommended

settings to accommodate for these conditions.

■ Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

View Temperature Set Points

1. Press and hold TEMP for 3 seconds to activate Temperature

mode.

NOTE: To view temperature in degrees Celsius, press the

LIGHT button, under Units, when adjust mode is activated. To

return the display setting to Fahrenheit, press the LIGHT

button again.
