Solutions
• When the door is opened, warm humid air
is allowed into the refrigerator. The more the
door is opened, the faster the humidity builds
up, and the more warm air the refrigerator
must cool. 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 find and close the door as soon as
the food is removed.
• Refer to the CONTROL PANEL FEATURES
section. Wait 24 hours for temperatures to
stabilize or even out. If the temperature is too
cold or too warm, move the dial one number
at a time.
• Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can
take a few hours for the refrigerator to return
to normal temperature.
• Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp
containers prior to storing in the refrigerator
to avoid moisture accumulation. If necessary,
repackage food according to the guidelines in
the FOOD STORAGE GUIDE section.
•See "Doors will not close completely".
• In humid weather, air carries moisture into
refrigerator when doors are opened.
• It is normal for droplets to form on the back
wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts.
• Locate air vents by using your hand to sense
airflow and move all packages that block
vents and restrict airflow. Refer to ENSURING
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION section for the
location of air vents.
• Call a plumber to clear the valve.
• Discard first few batches of ice to avoid
discolored or off-flavored ice.
• Throw away old ice and make new supply.
• Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to
the ice if food is not wrapped properly.
• A new filter may need to be installed to
eliminate taste and odor problems.
• See CARE AND CLEANING section.
• Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
• The water will evaporate. It is normal for water
to drip into the defrost pan.
• Expect that the water in the defrost pan will
take longer to evaporate. This is normal when
it is hot or humid.
• Refer to the UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS
YOU MAY HEAR section.
• See "Doors will not close completely" above.
• When the door is opened, warm, humid air is
allowed in the freezer resulting in frost.
