Cause
• Freezer control is set too cold.
• Ice maker is on.
• Refrigerator control is set too cold.
• Refrigerator control is set too cold.
• Meat Keeper temperature control is set
too cold.
Cause
• Doors are opened too frequently or too

• Refrigerator control is set too warm.
• Temperature control is set too warm.
Cause
• Weather is hot and humid.
• Door is slightly open.
• Door is opened too often or too long.
• Open containers.
• Vegetables contain and give off moisture.
• Washed vegetables and fruit drain while
in the drawer.
• Fruits and vegetables are kept past their
prime.
• Weather is humid.
• Door is slightly open, causing cold air
from inside refrigerator to meet warm air
from outside.
Correction
• Set freezer control to a warmer setting. Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• It is normal for the freezer compartment to over
cool while automatic ice maker is on.
• Set refrigerator control to a warmer setting. Allow
24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
• See solution above.
• Adjust Meat Keeper temperature control to a warmer
setting. Meat should be stored at a temperature just
below the freezing point for maximum fresh storage
time. It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the
moisture content of meat.
Correction
• Warm air enters the refrigerator whenever the
door is opened. Open the door less often.
• See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers.

increases.

• Open door less often to allow internal temperature
to stabilize.
• Keep containers covered.
• Moisture on the bottom side of the cover is not unusual.
• Move humidity control (select models) to lower setting.
• Dry items before putting them in the drawer.
Water collecting in bottom of drawer is normal.
• Routinely clean out old fruits and vegetables
especially if they begin to break down.
• This is normal in humid weather. When humidity
is lower, the moisture should disappear.
• See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/
Drawers.
