Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the Whirlpool WRF535SWHZ refrigerator
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
My Whirlpool WRF535SWHZ freezer drawer has frost or the fridge is warm.+
Check that the freezer drawer closes fully — French-door freezer drawers can be held open by an over-packed basket or a stuck item, letting warm air in, which frosts the freezer and warms the fridge above. Make sure interior vents are not blocked by food, the doors seal, and clean the condenser coil underneath. Frost on the rear evaporator from a defrost fault needs service.
