On the WHIRLPOOL W7832TMXH refrigerator-freezer, the display of stars on the thermostat generally indicates the cold level of the freezer. Here’s how to understand and act:
Meaning of the stars on the thermostat
- Each star corresponds to a temperature level of the freezer, ranging from 1 to 4 stars.
- The more stars displayed, the lower the temperature, indicating a more intense cold.
- For example, 4 stars indicate a temperature of about -18°C, ideal for long-term food preservation.
How to reset the thermostat
- There is generally no specific reset button on this model.
- To reset the thermostat, you can unplug the device from the electrical outlet for about 5 minutes.
- Then plug the refrigerator back in and wait a few minutes for the displays to stabilize.
Adjusting the temperature
- Use the buttons or the temperature selector located on the control panel to adjust the cold level.
- For the refrigerator, the ideal temperature is generally between 3°C and 5°C.
- For the freezer, select the number of stars corresponding to the desired temperature, 3 to 4 stars for optimal preservation (-18°C).
In summary, the stars indicate the cold of the freezer, and the adjustment is made via the control panel. In case of malfunction, a temporary power cut may help reset the device.
