Solutions
The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures
70°F (21°C) expect your compressor to run
about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more often.
The refrigerator should not be operated above
110°F (43°C ).
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil
area.
It may take up to 24 hours for each
compartment to reach the desired
temperature.
Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout
the compartment. Refer to the Airflow
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 110F (43°C ).
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 raise 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.
