TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
• 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.
• 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 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
Control Panel for more information.
• This is normal for food items with a high
water content.
• Do not store food items with high water
content in the freezer for a long period of
time.
• 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. Increased moisture will lead
to frost and condensation. To lessen the
effect, reduce the frequency and duration
of door openings.
• Refer to the Doors will not close correctly
or pop open section in the Troubleshooting
section.
