Possible Causes Solutions
It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment
to reach the desired temperature.
Locate air vents by using your hand to sense
airfl ow and move all packages that block vents
and restrict airfl ow. Rearrange items to allow air
to fl ow throughout the compartment. (Refer to
the Airfl ow diagram in the Using Your Refrigerator
section.)
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.
The refrigerator should not be operated in
temperatures above 110°F .
Adding food warms the compartment requiring
the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to
cool to room temperature before putting it in the
refrigerator will reduce this effect.
See the Doors will not close correctly or pop open
section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.
If the temperature is too warm, adjust the
control one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the
Controls section for more information.
During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may rise slightly and condensation
may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and
confi rm the proper temperature has been restored
once the defrost cycle has completed.
If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control
one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the
Controls section for more information.
This is normal. Items that you would like to keep
cooler should be stored in the refrigerator section.
