  If your Whirlpool Refrigerator isn't working, first, ensure it's properly plugged into a grounded socket, avoiding extension cables. Verify the socket has power by testing with a lamp. Check and reset any tripped circuit breakers or replace blown fuses. Make sure the refrigerator controls are turned on, referring to the 'Using the Controls' section. If it's a new installation, allow 24 hours for cooling. Also, check if the refrigerator is in Demo mode, indicated by 'Demo' on the control panel, and disable it as described in the 'Using the Controls' section.

  If you notice frost or ice build-up in your Whirlpool Refrigerator's freezer compartment, try to minimize how often you open the door and ensure it is completely closed after each use. Check that the door seals are making full contact with the refrigerator cabinet to create an adequate seal. Also, verify that the temperature controls are set correctly.

  Bruce HinesAug 23, 2025
  If the doors of your Whirlpool Refrigerator won't close completely, make sure that food packages aren't blocking them. Also, check if a bin or shelf is out of place and preventing the doors from closing properly; push it back into the correct position. If the refrigerator was recently installed, remove all packaging materials.

Why is my Whirlpool 6WM24NIHAS Refrigerator motor running so much?
- A
  angela65Aug 30, 2025
  Your Whirlpool Refrigerator might seem to run its motor a lot due to several reasons. Newer, high-efficiency models naturally run longer at energy-efficient speeds. Also, hot room or outdoor temperatures, adding a large amount of warm food, or frequent door openings can cause the motor to run more. Check that the door is not opened too often or for too long and is closing properly, and that the door gasket is clean. Ensure the refrigerator control isn't set too cold. Adjust to a less-cold setting to see if that helps.

Why is my Whirlpool 6WM24NIHAS Refrigerator temperature too warm?
- C
  Christopher GilesSep 1, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Refrigerator's temperature is too warm, several factors could be the cause. If it's a new installation, allow 24 hours for it to cool down completely. Make sure the controls are correctly set for your environment; adjust to a colder setting and check again after 24 hours. Minimize how often you open the doors and ensure they close fully. If you've recently added a large amount of food, give the refrigerator a few hours to return to its normal temperature. Also, check if Demo mode or Holiday mode is activated and turn them off.

Why are the lights not working in my Whirlpool Refrigerator?
- L
  Lisa RodriguezSep 3, 2025
  If the lights in your Whirlpool Refrigerator aren't working, and there's power to the refrigerator, it may require service since it is equipped with LED lighting which does not need to be replaced. If the doors have been open for more than 10 minutes, close them to reset. Also, make sure that there are no magnets or electronic devices within 7.6 cm (3") of the hinge cover.

Why is my Whirlpool Refrigerator temperature too cold in the refrigerator/crisper?
- M
  Mark ChenSep 5, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Refrigerator or crisper is too cold, it could be due to blocked air vents. If items are placed directly in front of the air vent located in the middle rear of the fresh food compartment, move them away. Also, the controls might not be set correctly for the surrounding conditions; try adjusting to a warmer setting and check the temperature again after 24 hours.

- L
  Lori MendezSep 8, 2025
  If the temperature in your Whirlpool Refrigerator's temperature-controlled drawer is too cold, the control might not be set correctly for the items stored. Adjust the temperature setting as described in the 'Using the Controls' section within 'Refrigerator Use'.
