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.

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.

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):

■ 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.

NOTE:

To allow sufﬁcient water ﬂow to the refrigerator,

a minimum 1/2" size copper household supply line is

recommended.

A. Bulb

B. Nut

C. Copper tubing (to refrigerator)

D. Household supply line (1/2" minimum)

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the

shut-off valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing to

connect the shut-off 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.

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 1¼" (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.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

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.

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

light bulbs, tighten or replace the bulb. See the “Lights” section.

NOTE: On models with LED lights, call for assistance or service if the interior lights do not

illuminate when either door is opened. See the Warranty in the User Instructions or User Guide for

contact information.

Dispenser lights do not work

(on some models)

■ Dispenser light is turned off - On some models, if the dispenser light is set to OFF, the light

will turn on only when a dispenser pad/lever is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to

stay on continuously, select a different setting. See “Water and Ice Dispensers” in the User

Instructions or User Guide.

■ Dispenser light is set to AUTO or NIGHT LIGHT - On some models, if the dispenser light

is set to AUTO or NIGHT LIGHT, make sure the dispenser light sensor is not blocked. See
