SOLUTION
Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door
seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in
order to maintain desired temperatures.
This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and
off to keep temperature constant.
Set the freezer control to a warmer
setting until the freezer temperature is
satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize. Then, if the
refrigerator temperature is not right, set
the refrigerator control to a colder
setting.
Set the refrigerator control to a warmer
setting. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize.
See above solution.
It is normal for ice crystals to form due to
the moisture content of meat.

Set the freezer control to a colder setting
until the freezer temperature is
satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize. Then, if the
refrigerator temperature is not right, set
