Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the refrigerator will warm up when this
occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything you need out of
the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to fi nd, and close the
door as soon as the food is removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large
amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator
to return to the normal temperature.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Refer "Using the
Controls."
Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not install the refrigerator
behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to get everything you
need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to fi nd, and
close the door as soon as the food is removed. When the door is opened, humidity
from the room air enters the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the
faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid.
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the air
is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off
damp food containers before placing in the refrigerator.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Refer "Controls"
section.
