What’s New Behind the Doors?
Your Whirlpool® Door-within-Door French Door Refrigerator comes equipped with various
innovative storage and energy-efficient features.
Door-within-Door
Featuring a designated cool area for drinks, this feature lets you
have instant access to your favorite foods and drinks without
having to open the entire refrigerator. Use the hidden latch to
open the door-within-door and get instant access to the gallon
door bin and your cold beverages.
Energy and Normal Operating Sounds
Your new Door-within-Door French Door Refrigerator has been
designed with a Linear Compressor to optimize energy efciency
and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. This
allows the refrigerator to respond at variable speeds and optimize
cooling needs by avoiding abrupt start/stop cycles. You may
notice that it operates differently than your previously owned
refrigerator.
Cold Space
Keeps your drinks at the right temperature with active cooling.
Air from the refrigerator compartment is channeled to a vent in
the lower door bin.
Freeze Shield
This feature minimizes moisture migration from frozen food.
This in turn reduces the freezer burn occurrence. To turn on the
Freeze Shield mode, toggle to the coldest freezer temperature set
point. To turn off the Freeze Shield mode, toggle from the coldest
freezer set point to any other temperature. This feature will also
turn on when the freezer reaches the ice-making temperature.
Innity Slide Shelf
Your new Innity Slide Shelf or shelves (on some models) is
designed to maximize accessibility to items of all shapes and
sizes. Small items t perfectly around the shelf perimeter and
remain accessible, while tall items nestle perfectly in the center
when the glass is pushed back. And, with the Innity Slide Shelf,
you don’t lose an entire half shelf to tall item storage. Just push
the glass portion back as far as you need to accommodate tall
items – innite adjustability.
Platter Pocket
This full-width slide-out shelf tucked between the crispers and
the lowest shelf is perfect for leftover family-sized casserole
dishes, pizza boxes, and large party platters.
Triple-tier freezer storage (on some models)
A drawer system that organizes items on three levels making
them easier to store and nd. The lower drawer includes a
divider. There’s also an in-door pizza pocket, a pull-out drawer for
smaller items, and third level glass shelf for small, at items.
Adjustable Shelves on Flipper System
Shelves that can be adjusted up or down easily with the ip of
a lever, allowing them to be adjusted without having to unload
them. The shelves are easy to clean and let you use the whole
shelf edge to edge for full visibility and accessibility.
FreshFlow™ Air Filter
An air lter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. Replace
your air lter every 6 months for maximum odor reduction.
Water Dispenser with Measured Fill
The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired
amount of ltered water in convenient increments like 8, 16,
or 24 oz.
Water Dispenser with Favorite Fill
The Favorite Fill feature allows you to save two custom presets
that can be programmed for favorite items that are frequently
lled, such as a coffee pot or a water bottle.
Panoramic LED lighting
Multiple strips of LED lights inside the refrigerator compartment,
freezer compartment, and interior drawers minimize shadows and
evenly distribute light throughout the refrigerator.
To view videos on door removal/
replacement, door adjustment, water
filter installation, air filter installation,
shelf adjustment or removal,

mobile device.
Deli drawer with customized temperature
Make temperature adjustments based on the refrigerated foods
you’d like to store so things like meat, deli items, and drinks are
kept in their ideal cooling environment.
In-Door-Ice® Storage Bin
The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the door for easy
access to ltered ice while freeing up valuable shelf space inside
and adding additional door bins for more usable space.
