Protect food when temperatures become unsafe.
Quick help
Confirmed from the Whirlpool US model listing: 25 cu. ft. (Whirlpool marketed capacity); Adaptive defrost; Factory-installed ice maker; exterior ice and water dispenser with EveryDrop filtration; LED dispenser light. The ice maker and exterior water dispenser are factory-listed features here. Published specifications establish product features, not which error codes the control can show.
| What you see | Safe next step | When to request service |
|---|---|---|
| A code, flashing character or unusual display | Record the exact display, including capitalization and spacing. Review the code evidence notice below. | If the warning persists or cooling is affected, ask Whirlpool to identify it for this exact model. |
| Fridge or freezer is warm | Confirm the actual temperature with a thermometer and make sure both doors close fully. | Stop storing perishables if it cannot maintain a safe temperature; request service. |
| Door frost, condensation or poor seal | Move containers away from the door path and look for visible gasket debris. | Seek service if the door does not seal or temperature rises. |
| Ice or water stops dispensing | Confirm the dispenser control is accessible and check any visible wet areas; consult model-matched Whirlpool instructions for filters and settings. | Stop for leaks, water near electrical parts, or continued dispensing without input. |
Food-temperature check: USDA guidance recommends a refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and a freezer at 0°F (−18°C) or colder. Measure with a dedicated appliance thermometer; a control setting is not a measurement. If food has warmed, use USDA food-safety guidance rather than judging it by appearance or smell.

| Refrigerator is warmer than expected | Measure the fresh-food and freezer sections; verify both door seals and avoid obstructing accessible vents. | Arrange service when temperatures remain outside food-safety guidance. |
| Frost appears near a door | Reposition protruding packages and inspect visible gaskets without removing fittings. | Arrange service if a door fails to seal or frost keeps returning. |

| Ice production drops or dispenser stops | Confirm the freezer remains cold and the user controls are accessible. If a filter was changed recently, refer to Whirlpool dispenser help and the matched model guide; do not dismantle the ice maker. | Arrange service if a leak, unsafe temperature, or persistent control problem develops. |
