Location Requirements
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.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household
use only.
7
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 2"
(5.08 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.
1
/
2" (1.27 cm)
2" (5.08 cm)
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 Requirement
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, disconnect the refrigerator from
the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the
model) to the desired setting. See the “Using the Controls”
section in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use and 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:
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ 7/16" and 1/2" open-end or two adjustable wrenches
■ 1/4" nut driver
■ 1/4" drill bit
■ Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off 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 “Troubleshooting” 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):
8
■ 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 and 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 shut-off valve or the equivalent, served by
a 1/2" copper household supply line.

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
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:
■ Remove the base grille. See the “Door Removal”
instructions, either in the User Instructions or the
Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual, or in the

TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
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
GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator will not operate
■ Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong
outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
■ No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■ Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
■ 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.
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 cool down.
■ 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.
13
GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
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.
■ Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a
colder setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.
Temperature is too cold
■ Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a
warmer setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.
■ Top refrigerator shelf is colder than lower shelves - On some models, air from the freezer
enters the refrigerator compartment through vents near the top refrigerator shelf. As a result,
the top shelf can be slightly colder than lower shelves.
■ Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.
Interior moisture buildup
NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a soft dry cloth.
■ Room is humid - A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Use the refrigerator
only in an indoor location, with as little humidity as possible.
■ Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows humid air to enter the
refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors
are properly sealed.
Interior lights do not work
■ Doors have been open for an extended period of time - Close the doors to reset the lights.
■ Light bulb is loose in the socket or has burned out - On models with incandescent interior
