The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates
from the freezer to the fresh food section
and back again through air vents in the waft
dividing the two sections.
The doors are opened often.
The control is not set correctly for the
surrounding conditions.
A large amount of food has just been added
to the refrigerator or freezer.
The food is not packaged correctly.
The doors are not closing completely.
The weather is humid.
A self-defrost cycle was completed.
The gaskets are dirty or sticky.
The door is reopened within a short time after
having been opened.
Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and
move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Refer
to Multi Flow section for the location of the air vents.
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 Setting the Controls section on page 18. Wait
24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the
temperature is too cold or too warm, change the setting one
level 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 troubleshooting
guide.
In humid weather, air carries moisture into the refrigerator
when the doors are opened.
It is normal for droplets to form on the back waft after the
refrigerator self-defrosts.
Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a
thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets
after cleaning.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator.
As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door
is hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
