To adjust the temperature, locate the temperature control inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial to a higher number for a colder temperature and to a lower number for a warmer temperature. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged in and the temperature controls are set correctly. Check the condenser coils for dust and debris, and clean them if necessary. Verify that the door seals are intact and the door is closing properly.
Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power. Remove the light cover by pulling it from the front. Unscrew the bulb counterclockwise and replace it with a new bulb of the same size and type. Reattach the light cover and restore power.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the condenser coils every six months, checking the door seals for leaks, and ensuring proper airflow inside the refrigerator. Defrost the freezer if ice build-up occurs.
Water leakage can be caused by a blocked defrost drain. Clear any obstructions in the drain with warm water or a pipe cleaner. Ensure that the refrigerator is level to allow proper drainage.
To reverse the door swing, remove the top hinge cover and screws, then lift the door off the bottom hinge. Transfer the hardware to the opposite side and reinstall the door. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.
A flashing light may indicate a temperature issue or a problem with the electronic controls. Check the user manual for specific error codes and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps.
If your model includes a water filter, it should typically be replaced every six months or after filtering 200 gallons of water, whichever comes first. Refer to the user manual for model-specific instructions.
The Whirlpool WRT318FZDB is designed for indoor use in a controlled environment. Extreme temperatures in a garage may affect its performance. Check with Whirlpool for models suitable for garage use.
Remove the shelves and drawers from the refrigerator. Wash them with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
