Step 2: Unplug the Refrigerator

To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet before proceeding.

Step 4: Check Connections

Visually inspect all wires and connections in the area where you are replacing the Whirlpool WPW10185992 TIMER. If any wires or connections appear to be loose or damaged, tighten them or secure them with electrical tape.

Step 6: Install New Timer

Once all the connections have been made, replace the panel cover and secure it in place with the Phillips head screws.

Step 8: Plug in the Refrigerator

Plug the refrigerator back into the wall outlet. Turn the refrigerator on and use your tape measure to confirm that the new timer is working correctly.
