Yes, it is normal for the water filter compartment door of the Whirlpool WRS588FIHZ side-by-side fridge to sit partially open. The door is designed to partially open when the filter is being replaced. To replace the water filter, follow these steps: 1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner or the base grille of the refrigerator. 2. Lift open the filter cover door to release the filter. 3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out. 4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the cap. Make sure the O-rings are still in place. 5. With the arrow pointing up or to the left, align the new filter with the filter housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted. 6. Close the filter cover door completely to snap the filter into place. You may need to press hard. 7. After changing the filter, reset the filter status light. 8. Flush the water system.

Why is there warm water coming out of my water dispenser? Shouldn't it be chilled?

The Whirlpool WRS588FIHZ refrigerator has a water dispenser that dispenses both cold and room temperature water. If warm water is being dispensed instead of cold water, there are a few possible reasons: 1. Low Water Pressure: Check if the flow of water from the dispenser is decreased. This could be caused by low water pressure. To test the water pressure, remove the water filter and dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. 2. Water Supply Requirements: Ensure that the refrigerator is connected to a cold water supply with a water pressure between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa). If the water pressure is too low, it may result in warm water being dispensed. 3. Reverse Osmosis Water Supply: If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to the refrigerator's water supply, ensure that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa). If the water pressure is lower, check if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked and allow the storage tank to refill after heavy usage.

ice forms under ice maker storage bin most likely from an opening where the clear plastic connects to the white plastic. When it builds up, you can't get the bin to snap into place.

Front of frig. Says cooling off. Why is it cooling off. I pressed all the options, but still says cooling off

Kathleen PriceJune 8, 2022

The amount of water dispensed is not equal to the amount the fridge says is being dispensed. i.e. 4 oz. is actually dispensed when it said 6 oz. was intended. Can it be calibrated?

Why does the front panel say cooling off? The door is not dispensing. It is in red.

How do I prevent drops from forming on the glass plates of my fridge?

There may be various causes for this, it is recommended to check the following: - Is the drain hole free of dirt? - Does the refrigerator door close properly? - Is the refrigerator not too full so that air can circulate properly? - Is the temperature not set below 5 degrees?

What do I do about a smelly fridge?

A common method for solving the problem of a smelly fridge is to pour vinegar into the drain and temporarily place a cup of vinegar in the fridge.

How much free space does my fridge need?

A minimum of 2.5 centimetres of free space around the fridge is needed to ventilate properly.

What does R-410A stand for?

R-410A is a refrigerant used in machines that cool to zero degrees Celsius.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?

Check that the temperature settings are correct for the desired cooling. Additionally, ensure that the vents in the refrigerator and freezer sections are not blocked, as this can obstruct proper air circulation.

How can I troubleshoot ice buildup in my freezer?

Verify that the freezer door is fully closed and the gasket is intact. Also, check the defrost drain to ensure it is not clogged. Regularly defrosting the freezer can help prevent excessive ice buildup.

What should I do if the water dispenser is not working?

First, check that the water supply is properly connected and turned on. Confirm that the water filter is not clogged and in need of replacement. Additionally, check the water inlet valve and dispenser switch for any issues.

How do I fix excessive noise coming from the refrigerator?

Ensure that the refrigerator is level to minimize noise caused by vibrations. Verify that there are no items touching or rattling against the refrigerator. Additionally, check if the condenser fan or compressor might be causing the excessive noise.
