REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. 
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid 
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any 
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must 
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor 
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window 
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, 
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing 
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or 
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh 
cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior 

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a 
mild detergent in warm water. 

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean 

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. 

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal 

home operating environments. If the environment is 
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic 
in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:

■

Remove the base grille. See the “Door Removal” 
instructions, either in the User Instructions or the 
Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual, or in the 
separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.

■

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, 
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area 
of the condenser.

■

Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Lights

The refrigerator and freezer compartments, air tower and 
dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed by yourself. 
To order replacement LED lightings, please, call Whirlpool service 
(1-800-253-1301 (U.S.A.) or 1-800-807-6777 (Canada).)

■

Gently squeeze the front and the bottom-rear edge of the light 
shield to release the tabs from the wall slots, then pull the light 
shield forward.

■

If the burned-out light is a full-size LED bulb, replace it with 
Whirlpool part number W10565137A (a 3.6 watt LED bulb).

■

If the burned-out light is an incandescent bulb, replace it with 
an incandescent appliance bulb of the same size, shape and 
wattage (40-watt maximum). 

■

Align the light shield in its proper position, and snap the tabs 
into the wall slots.

■

Slide the light shield to the left to remove the right end from 
the wall slots, then pull the left end out of its wall slots.

■

If the burned-out light is a full-size LED bulb, replace it with 
Whirlpool part number W10565137A (a 3.6 watt LED bulb).

■

If the burned-out light is an incandescent bulb, replace it with 
an incandescent appliance bulb of the same size, shape and 
wattage (40-watt maximum).
