Whirlpool refrigerators are self-defrosting, which helps keep food inside the refrigerator from spoiling. It is, however, possible for you to encounter problems with this type of refrigerator, such as the interior temperature of the refrigerator either being too warm or too cold, or the refrigerator not starting in the first place. Depending on the type of problem you encounter, there are several options available for fixing it. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Temperature Problems
1. Check the refrigerator's door. If it is open, even slightly, warm air gets into the refrigerator and impacts the interior temperature. If there is an obstruction blocking the door from closing fully, remove it. Check the refrigerator's four corners on the bottom. If all four are not touching the ground, the refrigerator is not set evenly, which can cause the door to open. Move the refrigerator until all four corners are touching the ground.
2. Press either the "+" touchpad on the front of the refrigerator to increase the refrigerator's temperature, or the "-" touchpad to decrease the temperature.
3. Open the door less. Opening the door too often causes warm air to enter the refrigerator and impact the interior temperature.
4. Add fewer loads of food at a time. Too much food loaded at one time impacts the interior temperature.
Refrigerator Does Not Start
5. Check the refrigerator's main power cord. If it is loose or not plugged in, plug the power cord into an electrical socket.
6. Unplug the refrigerator from its current socket and into another. If the one it is currently plugged in to is bad, the refrigerator will not receive power. Refrigerators typically use a grounded, three-prong outlet, so if there is not another socket available, you need to call an electrician to have the socket in question repaired.
7. Use the temperature controls to adjust the refrigerator's interior temperature to a colder temperature. The temperature may be set too warm, which can prevent the refrigerator from actively cooling.
