Whirlpool Gold Refrigerator Temperature Control Panel Quick Fix

Using the Main Panel Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser panel.
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser pads have not been used for 2 minutes or more.
While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen without changing any settings.

Adjusting Refrigerator Freezer Temperature

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.” The factory recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage.
The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.
To view and adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, adjusting information will appear on the display screen.
