Once your Whirlpool refrigerator water dispenser is calibrated correctly, ongoing maintenance will keep it performing optimally.. To calibrate your Whirlpool refrigerator water dispenser, you typically need a measuring cup or container to measure the water output accurately. A standard measuring cup of 1 cup (8 ounces) is often sufficient.. Once you've selected calibration, the refrigerator will guide you through the process, prompting you to dispense a specific amount of water. By following these prompts, you can ensure that the measured fill feature is accurately dispensing the desired amount of water.
Press and hold the water dispenser paddle to dispense water to the 1-cup fill line in the measuring cup. If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and restart the calibration process. When 1 cup of water has been correctly dispensed into the measuring cup, touch the center of the ring button to confirm the calibration..
