Possible Causes Solutions
The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures
70°F(21°C) expect your compressor to
run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, expect it to run even
more often. The fridge should not be
operated above 110°F(43°C).
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment
to clean the condenser cover and vents.
Do not remove the panel covering the
condenser coil area. Disconnect the mains
before cleaning.
It may take up to 24 hours for each
compartment to reach the desired
temperature.
Rearrange items to allow air to flow
throughout the compartment. Refer to the
Airflow diagram in the Using Your Fridge
section.
When the doors are opened often or for long
periods of time, warm, humid air enters the
compartment. This raises the temperature
and moisture level within the compartment.
To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency
and duration of door openings.
The fridge should not be operated in
temperatures above 110°F(43°C).
Adding food warms the compartment
requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing
hot food to cool to room temperature before
putting it in the fridge will reduce this effect.
See the Doors will not close correctly
or pop open section in Parts & Features
Troubleshooting.
If the temperature is too warm, adjust the
control one increment at a time and wait
for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to
the Setting the Controls section for more
information.
During the defrost cycle, the temperature
of each compartment may raise slightly and
condensation may form on the back wall.
Wait 40 minutes and confirm the proper
temperature has been restored once the
defrost cycle has completed.
