Check your model: Error codes can mean different things on different Whirlpool models. Find your model number (usually on a sticker inside the door or lid, or on the back) and confirm the code in your user manual.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance (or switch off its breaker) before you remove panels, filters or hoses. Turn off the water supply valves before you disconnect any hose, and keep a towel and shallow pan handy. Never work on wiring, gas lines or sealed refrigerator systems yourself.
