REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Changing the Light Bulb
IMPORTANT: The light bulbs in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments of your new refrigerator use LED technology. If the lights do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/or freezer door is opened, call for assistance or service. In the U.S.A., call
1-800-253-1301. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield (on some models).
■ Top of the refrigerator compartment - Slide the light shield toward the back of the compartment to release it from the light assembly.
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.
■ For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosionresistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the following cleaning instructions.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and cabinet), 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. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.
Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
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.
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.
3. Replace the burned-out LED bulb(s) with a bulb of the same size, shape and wattage.
■ To replace the burned-out LED bulb with an LED bulb, order Whirlpool part number W10565137 (3.6 watts).
■
NOTE: Some LED replacement bulbs are not recommended for wet/damp environments. The refrigerator and freezer compartments are considered to be wet/damp environments. If using a brand of LED bulb other than the Whirlpool recommended LED bulb, before installation, read and follow all instructions on the LED packaging.
If an incandescent bulb is used to replace an LED bulb, use only incandescent bulbs for household appliances with a maximum of 40 watts.
4. Replace the light shield.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
