Fresh Food Temp Control
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage
and operating conditions and may require more than one
adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the amount
of food in the fresh food and freezer compartments, frequency
of door opening, and temperature of food when placed in either
compartment.
The thermistor located at the bottom of the fresh food
control housing is one of the key elements for temperature
control. Keep all items away from blocking the thermistor as
this will reduce the sensitivity of the thermistor and cause
temperature issues. Food may freeze or become too warm
depending on the compressor cycle if the air flow is blocked.
