I'm sorry according to the parts braekdown for that model number their is no builtin filter..you could add a external one to the water supply line into the refrig.
Searching the parts breakdown for the model# you provided i do not see a listing for the water filter so i don't belive your model doesn't have one. On all whirlpool brands,models that have a filter its in the grill under the doors on the freezer side. Other brands put it above the top shelf of the fresh food compartment. If you dont find it in either place,your model doesnt have a built in one
Make sure the settings are on the recommended setting, If so check to see if the freezer bottom is frozen over with sheet ice, if it is than you either have a leek in the ice maker or a clogged defrost drain line. The excess ice obstructs the air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator making the freezer to cold and the refrigerator not.
Removing a water filter from the base grill of your Whirlpool brand
refrigerator:
Removing and replacing a water
filter - base grill location
Filters situated in the base grill (below the freezer compartment) of
Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators are relatively simple to replace.
Follow these two steps:
Grasp the filter's end and make a one-quarter turn to the left.
Pull the filter straight out.
To replace with a new filter, repeat these two steps in the opposite order,
making sure to first remove the red cap from the filter. Proceed by pushing the
filter straight into the slot, and then giving it a one quarter turn to the
right. Note: Replacing this type of filter is quick - there is no need to
unplug your refrigerator when replacing it. Also, this filter should be replaced
every six months.
I can only guess because I don't know your model number. At the bottom of the fridge at the front there should be a round knob or handle about 2 to 21/2 inches, you should be able to turn this and pull out the long filter tube, take the number off it and get a new one.
This is normal. Modern frost free fridges have heaters built into the front edge of the cabinet to help keep the accumulation of surface condensation and excessive ice build up on the door edges inside the freezer and fridge.
It is nothing to worry about, but you might have an energy saver switch inside the fridge section that you can turn "on" to turn OFF the heaters (energy saver means the power using heaters would be OFF when the energy saver is "on", turning it "off" means the heaters are ON.
But not all fridges have a switch to turn off the heaters, so don't worry, just accept it and don't buy a new fridge until you need to.
