Interior moisture
buildup.
Food is freezing
in the refrigerator
compartment.
Frost or ice
crystals form
on frozen food
(outside of
package).
Doors are opened often or for
long periods 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. To
lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and
duration of door openings.
Doors not closed correctly. See the Doors will not close correctly section in
the Troubleshooting section.
Weather is humid.
Defrost cycle recently
completed.
Food is not packaged correctly.
Food with high water content
was placed near an air vent.
Refrigerator temperature control
is set incorrectly.
Refrigerator is installed in a cold
location.
Door is opened frequently or for
long periods of time.
Humid weather allows additional moisture
to enter the compartments when the doors
are opened leading to condensation or frost.
Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the
home will help to control the amount of moisture
that can enter the compartments.
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 that the proper
temperature has been restored once the defrost
cycle has completed.
Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp
containers can lead to moisture accumulation
within each compartment. Wipe all containers
dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent
condensation and frost.
Rearrange items with high water content away
from air vents.
If the temperature is too cold, 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.
When the refrigerator is operated in temperature
below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the
refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should
not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).
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.
