Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

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.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

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.

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 ngers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.

■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable

uids, 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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the oor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid oor damage. Always pull
the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as oor
damage could occur.

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.”

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

WARNING

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied person.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along
its length or at either the plug or connector end.

Explosion Hazard

Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.

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

IMPORTANT: This appliances is intended to used in household
and similar applications such as:

■ Staff kitchen areas in shops, ofce and other working

environments,

■ Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other

residential type environments,

■ Bed and breakfast type environments,

■ Catering and similar non-retail applications.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2"
(1.25 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 xed wall,
leave 2¹⁄2" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models
require more) to allow for 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.

WARNING

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.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only 15 or 20 A 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 Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have nished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn Cooling
ON. See “Using the Control(s).”

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 ■ 1/4" Nut driver

■ 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or

two adjustable wrenches

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.

■ 1/4" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

E

■ Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water ow and clogs more easily.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.

■ For models with water lters, the disposable water lter

should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of 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, qualied plumber.

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 ltration 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 lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell

after heavy usage.

■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce

the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water Filtration
System.”

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualied plumber

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.

■ If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is

connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or
damage to the water valve.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a 1/2" to 1¹⁄4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the rear of the 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" hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

A. Cold water pipe
B. Pipe clamp
C. Copper tubing
D. Compression nut

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" 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.

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 compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or
you may crush the copper tubing.

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.

The base grille covers the leveling screws and roller assemblies
located at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet below the freezer
door or drawer. Before making adjustments, remove the base
grille and move the refrigerator to its nal location.

1. Remove the two screws fastening the base grille to the

cabinet, and set the screws aside. Grasp the grille and pull it
toward you.

2. Move the refrigerator to its nal location.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the

leveling legs off the oor by turning the leveling screws
counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the oor.

3. So the doors will close easier, use a 1/4" hex driver to turn
both leveling screws clockwise. This will raise the front of the
refrigerator tilting it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both
leveling screws the same amount.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This
makes it easier to turn the screws.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,

the ice cubes will ll the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Remember

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

the rst three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to
completely ll the ice storage bin.

■ 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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin.

Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing

the water lter, ush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to
ow. Once water begins to ow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser paddle (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will ush
air from the lter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water lter for use. Additional ushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid ooding. To
continue dispensing, press the dispenser paddle again.

■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.

Dispensing Water

1. Hold a container under the dispenser spout while pressing the

dispenser pad.

2. Release the dispenser pad to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin

to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from
dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment.
After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.

Ice Production Rate

■ The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice

approximately every 3 hours.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.

15

Water Filtration System

The water lter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to
this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below
are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

■ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to ll the ice

maker

■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize

performance

■ Hissing/Rattling - ow of refrigerant, movement of water

lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator

■ Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during

defrost cycle

■ Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially

during initial cool-down

■ Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the

defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan

■ Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the

ice maker mold.

■ Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■ Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24

hours for ice maker to make new ice.

■ Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof

packaging to store food.

■ Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water

lter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■ Water lter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark

discoloration in ice indicates that the water ltration system
needs additional ushing. Flush the water system before using
a new water lter. Replace water lter when indicated. See
“Water Filtration System.”

The water dispenser will not operate properly

■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply

shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water

supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? Straighten the water source

line.

■ New installation? Flush and ll the water system. See “Water

Dispenser.”

■ Is the water pressure at least 35 psi (241 kPa)? The water

pressure to the home determines the ow from the dispenser.
See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Water lter installed on the refrigerator? Remove lter and

operate dispenser. If water ow increases, the lter may be
clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace lter or reinstall it
correctly.

■ Refrigerator door closed completely? Close the door rmly.

If it does not close completely, see “The doors will not close
completely,” earlier in this section.

■ Recently removed the doors? Make sure the water

dispenser wire/tube assembly has been properly reconnected.
See “Refrigerator Door(s) and Drawer.”

■ Reverse osmosis water ltration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure.

See “Water Supply Requirements.”
