The doors are difficult to open

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

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

■Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

The lights do not work

■Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See “Changing the Light Bulbs.”

■Is the dispenser light set to OFF? On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when a dispenser lever/pad is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on continuously, set the dispenser light to ON. See “Water Dispenser.”

Temperature and Moisture

Temperature is too warm

■New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

■Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

■Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

■Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Control(s).”

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

■Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.

■Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

Ice and Water

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

■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? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on model) is in the ON position.

■New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

■Freezer door closed completely? Firmly close the freezer compartment door. If the freezer compartment door will not close all the way, see “The doors will not close completely,” earlier in this section.

■Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

■Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

■Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

The ice cubes are hollow or small

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

■Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

■Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice quality improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.

■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 filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated. See “Water Filtration System.”

whirlpool specifications

Whirlpool, a leading name in home appliances, offers a wide range of washing machines designed to provide efficient cleaning and convenience. Renowned for their innovative technologies and user-friendly features, Whirlpool washing machines cater to a diverse range of washing needs.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool washing machines is their load sensing technology. This smart feature detects the weight of the load and automatically adjusts the water levels and cycle duration, ensuring optimal water and energy use. This not only enhances performance but also contributes to sustainability by minimizing unnecessary water consumption.

Whirlpool also incorporates advanced washing cycles in their machines. The EcoWash cycle, for instance, is designed for efficient cleaning while using less water and energy, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, the Delicate cycle ensures that fragile fabrics receive a gentle wash, protecting them from damage while effectively removing dirt.

Another notable characteristic is the FreshCare option, available in several Whirlpool models. This technology periodically tumbles the laundry after the cycle has finished, preventing wrinkles and musty odors, and keeping clothes fresh for hours. This is particularly useful for those who might not be able to move their laundry immediately after the wash cycle concludes.

Whirlpool washing machines also come equipped with an intuitive control panel featuring a range of pre-set programs. Users can easily select the desired wash type based on fabric type and soil level, ensuring tailored care for garments. Many models also offer a delay start feature, allowing users to schedule their wash cycles to start at a convenient time.

Durability and ease of maintenance are other key characteristics of Whirlpool washers. Many of their models come with a reliable stainless steel drum, which is both resistant to rust and capable of handling large loads without compromising performance. The self-cleaning technology found in select models further enhances longevity by automatically washing the drum and maintaining optimal hygiene.

In conclusion, Whirlpool washing machines combine cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design to deliver effective, efficient, and user-friendly laundry solutions. With features like load sensing, diverse washing cycles, FreshCare technology, and intuitive control options, Whirlpool continues to set the standard for innovation and reliability in the home appliance market. Whether for everyday use or special care garments, Whirlpool washing machines provide versatility and peace of mind for every household.
