Residential-Style Refrigerators
This article provides a general overview of how a residential-style refrigerator operates.
Residential-style refrigerators are the most popular option
installed in Newmar coaches. The refrigerator operates
on 120 volt AC power and uses freon and a compressor
to keep your food cold and fresh. The power may be
supplied by the electrical hookup at the campsite,
generator power or (in most coaches) an inverter with a
charged house battery bank.
For models with a built-in ice maker, a pressurized water
supply is required. In order for the ice maker to operate,
you must have water in the fresh tank and have the water
pump turned on, or your coach must be connected to city
water supply.
When placing items on the racks and in the bins, leave
enough space for air to flow throughout the entire
refrigerator cabinet.
All models are equipped with a means to latch and secure
the doors for a tight seal and to prevent the doors from
opening during transit. Become familiar with the latch
operation and always lock prior to traveling.
Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator with Water Dispenser
Operation (Models: WRF560SEHZ and WRF560SEYM)
This article provides basic operation instructions for a Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator with Water Dispenser (Models:
WRF560SEHZ and WRF560SEYM).
There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors
can be opened and closed either separately or together.
There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.
•
When the left-hand refrigerator door is opened, the
hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out
of the way.
•
When both doors are closed, the hinged seal
automatically forms a seal between the 2 doors.
Using The Controls
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely
before adding food. If you add food before the
refrigerator has cooled completely, your food
may spoil. Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer
temperature controls to a colder than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
IMPORTANT
!
•
The recommended setting should be correct for
normal household refrigerator use. The controls are
set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like
and when ice cream is firm.
•
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.
Depending on your model, your refrigerator has either
an internal control panel, located at the top of the
refrigerator compartment, or an external control panel,
located above the external water dispenser. Follow the
instructions specific to your model.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel will
turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the
control buttons and dispenser paddles 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. After
reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made.
If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will
re-enter “sleep” mode. Touch any control button on the
dispenser panel to activate the display screen.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset
at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make
sure the control is still set to the recommended setting (3
Snowflakes).
ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the
refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed
in the following chart as a guide.
•
Press the Temp button to display the desired number
of snowflakes from 1 snowflake (least cold) to all 5
snowflakes (coldest).
NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust
the control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours
between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
