Whirlpool WRTX5028PM - Manual

A Whirlpool refrigerator installation manual covers essential setup guidelines for ensuring safe and efficient operation of both top-mount and bottom-freezer models. The document emphasizes critical safety requirements, including proper electrical wiring standards, water pressure specifications for reverse osmosis systems, and warnings about electrical shock hazards. Installation instructions highlight necessary clearance dimensions–such as ½-inch on sides, 1–2 inches behind cabinets, and 3¼ inches for wall-mounted units–to prevent overheating and ensure ventilation. It also advises against placing the refrigerator near heat sources or in cold environments below 55°F (13°C), while recommending optimal room temperatures between 55°F–109°F (13°C–43°C). Clearance diagrams illustrate these specifications to aid proper placement.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical:

A 115 V, 60 Hz AC only, 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded

electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that

cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE:

Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator

or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then

disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you

are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source

and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control

depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the

Controls.”

Water:

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 psi and

120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate ice maker and

water dispenser. If you have questions about your water pressure,

call a licensed, qualified plumber.

IMPORTANT:

The pressure of the water coming out of a reverse

osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator

needs to be between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa).

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply:

If a reverse osmosis water filtration

system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure

to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of

40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa).

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
