Whirlpool Ice Maker French Door Refrigerator

How do I set up my Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator after unpacking it?

First, remove all shipping materials and use a 1/2″ socket wrench to remove the skids (a socket extension is recommended). Then plug the refrigerator into a grounded 3-prong outlet without removing the ground prong or using an adapter, and avoid using an extension cord. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the recommended temperature setting before adjusting any controls.

How do I connect my Whirlpool ice maker refrigerator to the water supply?

Connect the refrigerator to the household water supply and turn it on, ensuring the water supply line behind the refrigerator is not kinked. Flush the water system according to instructions and check for water leaks at all connections before using the ice maker or water dispenser.

How do I turn the ice maker on and off?

To turn on the ice maker, lower the wire shutoff arm. To turn it off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the off (arm up) position and listen for the click. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down, as the ice maker has an automatic shutoff that engages when the ice storage bin is full.

Why is my ice maker not producing ice?

Check that the ice maker is turned on by lowering the wire shutoff arm, verify the freezer temperature is set to the recommended setting, confirm the water supply is connected and turned on, and inspect the water filter for clogs or replacement needs. If all these items check out, contact Whirlpool customer support for further assistance.

How do I flush the water system after installation or filter replacement?

Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds, and repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gallons (12 liters) has been dispensed.

Why is my water dispenser not working?

Confirm that the water supply is connected and turned on, check for kinks or blockages in the water line, and ensure the water filter is properly installed and not clogged. If the water dispenser still does not work after checking these items, contact Whirlpool customer support.
