About ClimateKeeper

How it Works

The ClimateKeeper2™ is the industry's most advanced
refrigeration system, delivering optimum temperature
and humidity performance to keep food garden fresh
longer and reduce freezer burn, while maintaining E star-
level effi ciency.
The ClimateKeeper2 system features two evaporators―
one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer. This
provides two separate cooling systems, and separates

the airfl ow between the fresh food and freezer
compartments during normal cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the fresh
food compartment are signifi cantly higher than in a
conventional system,** allowing fresh produce and
other unsealed foods to retain their moisture content
and freshness longer. Moisture sensitive foods such
as fresh fruit, salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on
open shelves without excessive moisture loss. Due to
the higher humidity in the refrigerator, you may on
occasion experience fog or small amounts of moisture
in the refrigerator compartment. This is normal and may
come and go as different food loads and environmental
conditions change. Wipe dry with a paper towel if desired.
The separate airfl ow system minimizes the mixing of
air between the two compartments, which reduces
fresh food odor transfer to improve the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2 system also reduces the number
of defrosting cycles in the freezer evaporator, thereby
reducing freezer burn.
*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool™ feature.
**Testing shows a higher level of humidity in the Fresh
Food section in ClimateKeeper2 refrigerators versus
conventional units.
