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.

When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on
models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi
on models with a water filter.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a
plumber or install a booster pump to compensate for the
low pressure.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount and result in
icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved during
installation or cleaning resulting in reduced water flow.
Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it
to prevent future kinks.
