Whirlpool WRT316SFDM Energy Guide

To adjust the temperature settings, locate the temperature control dial inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperatures and to a lower number for warmer temperatures. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize after adjustment.
First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure that the temperature settings are correct. Clear any obstructions to the air vents inside the refrigerator. If the problem persists, consider cleaning the condenser coils or contacting a professional technician.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months to ensure optimal performance. Use a vacuum cleaner or brush to remove dust and debris from the coils.
Organize the shelves by grouping similar items together. Place frequently used items at eye level for easy access. Consider using clear bins to organize smaller items and to maximize space. Keep raw meats on the bottom shelf to prevent drippings onto other foods.
The Whirlpool WRT316SFDM Refrigerator does not come with a built-in water filter. If you have added an external water filter system, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for replacement procedures.
To defrost the refrigerator, remove all food items and unplug the appliance. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Place towels on the floor to absorb water. Once defrosted, clean the interior with a mild detergent, dry thoroughly, and plug the refrigerator back in.
Unusual noises can be caused by various factors, including the compressor cycling on and off, the defrost timer, or the evaporator fan. Ensure the refrigerator is level and not touching any walls or cabinets. If the noise persists, consult the user manual or contact a technician.
To change the light bulb, unplug the refrigerator and locate the light bulb cover inside the refrigerator compartment. Remove the cover by turning it counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a new one of the same type and wattage, then reattach the cover.
Inspect the door seal for signs of wear or damage. If damaged, it is advisable to replace it to ensure a proper seal and efficient cooling. Replacement seals can be purchased from appliance parts stores or directly from Whirlpool. Follow the instructions provided with the new seal for installation.
To improve energy efficiency, ensure the refrigerator is not overfilled, which can restrict air circulation. Keep the refrigerator away from heat sources such as ovens or direct sunlight. Regularly clean the condenser coils, and ensure the door seals are in good condition to prevent cold air leaks.
