■ 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? See "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.
There is interior moisture buildup
■
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 find, 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? See "Using the Controls."
The door is difficult to open
WARNING

■ Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gasket following cleaning.
The door will not close completely
■ Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less
space.
