Checking the Power Supply

How to Check the Power Supply for the Whirlpool Undercounter Refrigerator, Wine Cooler or Beverage Center

Make sure the power cord is plugged into a 3-prong outlet. A 115-volt, 60-Hz, AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required.

  • It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator is provided.
  • Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.
  • Do not use an extension cord.
  • Check the outlet. If you are unsure if it's working, plug in a household lamp or other small appliance to verify that it is.

Check Circuit Breaker or Household Fuse:

  • Check to see if a household circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) outlet has tripped. If so, reset the circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt. 
  • If the refrigerator is on a fuse box, check to see if a fuse has blown and replace it, if necessary. If the problem continues, call an electrician. 

Check to see if a household circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) outlet has tripped. If so, reset the circuit breaker or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt.
