Solutions
• When the doors are opened often or for long
periods of time, warm, humid air enters the
compartment. This raises the temperature and
moisture level within the compartment. To lessen
the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of
door openings.
• See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open"
section.
• Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter
the compartments when the doors are opened
leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a
reasonable level of humidity in the home will help
to control the amount of moisture that can enter the
compartments.
• During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may rise slightly and condensation
may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and
confirm that the proper temperature has been
restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
• Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp
containers can lead to moisture accumulation
within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry
and store food in sealed packaging to prevent
condensation and frost.
• Rearrange items with high water content away from
air vents.
• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one
increment at a time and wait for the temperature
to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel section for
more information.
• When the refrigerator is operated in temperature
below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the
refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should
not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).
• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature.
• Locate air vents by using your hand to sense
airflow and move all packages that block vents and
restrict airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow
throughout the compartment.
