Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "Garage Ready" mean for this refrigerator?
A: This unit is designed with a specialized thermostat system that can handle extreme ambient temperature fluctuations, allowing it to maintain proper internal cooling without freezing or thawing food when placed in an unheated or uncooled space like a garage or basement.
Q: Can the door swing direction be reversed?
A: Yes. The unit features a reversible door, meaning the hinges can be installed on either the left or right side to best fit your space and layout requirements.
Q: How does the Flexi-Slide™ Deli Drawer work?
A: The deli drawer rests on a track that easily slides horizontally from side to side. This allows you to quickly reorganize the interior shelf space to accommodate taller items beneath it without removing the drawer entirely.
Q: Does this model come with an factory-installed icemaker?
A: Most standard models in this series do not come with a pre-installed icemaker, but they are icemaker ready and compatible with Whirlpool’s optional, easy-to-install ice maker kit (sold separately).
