vents.

refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully
closed.

refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
Control(s) set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust
the control(s) a setting colder. Check temperature in
24 hours. See "Using the Control(s)."

Internal heaters are used to reduce excess exterior moisture. If
still concerned, call for service.

defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal
when it is hot or humid.
