Accessing the components in the 25 cu. ft. Top-Mount Refrigerator/Freezer is generally quite similar to
other typical Whirlpool units.
Accessing the Component Compartment
Components located in the component compartment are assembled on a slide-out tray at the bottom of
the unit. The compressor, filter-drier, condenser, condenser fan and water supply valve are located in
this area. To gain access to these components the compartment, heat exchanger and condenser fan
covers must be removed and the tray slid out.
Fig. 8
1. Remove the six (6) hex-head screws
securing the condenser fan cover to the
cabinet.
(Fig. 8-A)
2. Remove the six (6) screws securing the
two sections of the heat exchanger cover
to the back of the unit.
(Fig. 8-B)
3. Remove the five (5) screws securing the
component compartment cover to the
cabinet. (Fig. 8-C)
4. Remove the two (2) screws securing the
water supply valve to the base rail. (Fig.

ed on the bracket, it is not necessary to
disconnect the copper supply tubing or the
plastic supply tubing.

5. Push the filter-drier out of its retaining bracket and gently move it out of the way. NOTE: Take
care not to kink any of the tubing connected to the filter-drier.
6. Remove the two (2) compressor mounting bolts securing the slide-out tray to the lower rear
cabinet rail. (Fig. 9)
7. Carefully slide the tray out from the unit. (Fig. 9) NOTE: The tray can only slide out a few
inches without kinking the tubing. To slide the tray completely out, the sealed system must be
purged and the tubing disconnected.
