Whirlpool WRT518SZFW Top-Freezer Refrigerator

Model # WRT518SZFW

Top-freezer cabinets are the simplest refrigerators Whirlpool builds and their faults reflect that. Most calls come down to door sealing, a blocked defrost drain or an ice-maker kit that was fitted without a proper water feed.

Owners can safely check that shelves are not blocking the cold-air vents at the back of the freezer, clean the seals and confirm the water shut-off valve is open. Reaching the defrost heater or drain means removing the rear freezer panel with the refrigerator unplugged, which is a technician job.

FAQ

Whirlpool WRT518SZFW Top-Freezer Refrigerator FAQ

Usually the water supply: the saddle or shut-off valve is closed, the line is kinked, or the inlet valve was not connected. The kit itself rarely arrives faulty.

On a top-freezer it can, because both compartments share one cold-air stream. Adjust one number at a time and give it a day before judging.
