Whirlpool WRT518SZKV Refrigerator F.A.Q.

How do I adjust the temperature settings on my Whirlpool WRT518SZKV refrigerator?

To adjust the temperature settings, locate the temperature control dial inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperatures and a lower number for warmer temperatures. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making further adjustments.

What should I do if my refrigerator is not cooling properly?

First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the door is sealing properly and not obstructed by items. Clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. If the problem persists, consider contacting Whirlpool customer service for further assistance.

How often should I clean the condenser coils on my Whirlpool WRT518SZKV?

It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months to ensure optimal performance. If you have pets or the refrigerator is in a dusty environment, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

What type of light bulb does the Whirlpool WRT518SZKV refrigerator use, and how do I replace it?

The refrigerator uses a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. To replace it, unplug the refrigerator, remove the light cover by unscrewing it or snapping it out, then replace the bulb and reinstall the cover. Plug the refrigerator back in.

Why is there water pooling at the bottom of my refrigerator?

Water pooling can be caused by a blocked defrost drain. To fix this, unplug the refrigerator and locate the drain at the bottom of the back panel. Use warm water to flush out any blockage. Ensure the drain is clear and reassemble any parts you removed.

How can I maximize the energy efficiency of my Whirlpool WRT518SZKV?

To maximize energy efficiency, ensure the refrigerator is placed away from heat sources like ovens or direct sunlight. Keep the door closed as much as possible and make sure the seals are intact. Regularly clean the condenser coils and set the temperature to the manufacturer-recommended settings.

What do I do if the ice maker is not producing ice?

Check if the ice maker is turned on and connected to the water supply. Ensure the water line is not kinked and the filter is not clogged. If the issue persists, inspect the ice maker for any visible damage or contact customer service for assistance.

How can I reduce noise coming from my Whirlpool refrigerator?

Ensure the refrigerator is level by adjusting the leveling feet. Check for any loose parts or items inside that might be vibrating. If the noise continues, it might be due to the compressor or fans, in which case professional inspection may be needed.

How do I reset the filter indicator light after replacing the water filter?

After replacing the water filter, locate the filter reset button on the control panel. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off. This resets the filter monitoring system.

What should I do if the refrigerator door does not close properly?

Check for obstructions or items inside the refrigerator that may be preventing the door from closing. Inspect the door seal for damage or dirt and clean it if necessary. Adjust the leveling feet to ensure the refrigerator is balanced.
