Documents / ResourcesPost navigationWhat temperature should a Whirlpool fridge and freezer be set at?The recommended freezer temperature to keep your food safe is at or below 0°F (-18°C), but your freezer may need to be set higher or lower depending on its environment and other factors. The typical freezer factory setting on Whirlpool® refrigerators is a great starting point at the recommended 0°F (-18°C).
Is 1 or 7 colder on a Whirlpool fridge?The numbers on the fridge's temperature dial indicate refrigerant power. The higher the number goes the colder the fridge will maintain. Setting it to 5 will make your fridge the coldest.
What temperature should a side by side refrigerator be set at?Your refrigerator temperature should stay between 32ºF - 40ºF (0ºC - 4.4ºC), with 37ºF being the ideal spot for most foods. Also take into consideration where you're placing items, since there are certain compartments that will be cooler than others.
How do I make my Whirlpool refrigerator colder?If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperature. To make the Refrigerator colder, adjust the control to the next higher setting. To make the Refrigerator less cold, adjust the control to the next lower setting.
