Warranty Information

Whirlpool provides a 1-year limited warranty covering parts and labor for defects in materials or workmanship.

  • Freezer Operation: Ensure proper air circulation by not blocking vents. Use the temperature control knob, with a small snowflake representing the coldest setting and a large snowflake the least cold. Fast Freeze mode is available for rapid cooling before adding large quantities of food.
  • Installation: Requires a grounded 3-prong outlet, a separate circuit, and specific clearances. Water supply requirements are detailed for ice maker and dispenser.
  • Care: Clean the interior with a mild detergent or baking soda solution. For exterior, use appropriate cleaners for painted metal or stainless steel.
  • Troubleshooting: Covers issues like the freezer not operating, lights not working, water in the drain pan, motor running excessively, ice maker issues, and temperature problems.
