Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a
warmer setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.
Ice storage bin is not in the correct position - See "Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin."
Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.
Control is not set correctly for the items stored in the drawer - Adjust the temperature
setting. See "Temperature Controlled Exterior Drawer."
NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a soft dry cloth.
Room is humid - A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Only use the refrigerator
in an indoor location, with as little humidity as possible.
Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows humid air to enter the
refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are
properly sealed.
The drawer is opened often or left open - Minimize drawer openings and close drawer
completely after use.
Poor drawer seal - Ensure drawer seal is making full contact with the cabinet to allow for an
adequate seal.
Temperature control(s) are not set correctly - See "Using the Control(s)" for recommended
temperature settings.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Gaskets are dirty or sticky - Clean the gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm
water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Door is blocked open - Move food packages away from the door. Make sure all bins and
shelves are in their correct positions. Make sure all packaging materials have been removed.
Doors need to be aligned, or refrigerator needs to be leveled - See "Refrigerator Leveling,

brake feet (one on each side) clockwise, the same amount, until they are snug against the floor.
