36 Solutions to Common Problems
Water/Moisture/Frost Inside Refrigerator
Problem
Moisture
collects on
inside of
refrigerator
walls.
Water collects
on bottom
side of drawer
cover.
Moisture
collects in
bottom of
drawer.
Moisture
collects on
outside of
refrigerator
or between
doors.
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
• The rate of frost buildup and internal
sweating increases.
• See Problem section, Opening/Closing
of Doors/Drawers.
• 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.
