Putting your Whirlpool refrigerator into defrost mode is a simple process that can help keep your refrigerator running smoothly. Defrosting your refrigerator helps keep it clean and free of ice buildup, which can cause the refrigerator to run inefficiently. To put your Whirlpool refrigerator into defrost mode, you will need to locate the defrost control switch. This switch can usually be found behind the refrigerator’s control panel or near the condenser coils. Once you have located the switch, simply move it to the “defrost” position. Your refrigerator will then enter into defrost mode and begin to defrost itself. When the defrost cycle is complete, the switch will automatically move back to the “run” position and your refrigerator will resume normal operation.
