exceeded these limits, the display will alternately show
the current compartment temperatures and the highest
compartment temperatures reached when the power
was out. An audible alarm will sound repeatedly.

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that

the refrigerator is first started, during hot weather and
after excessive or lengthy door openings.
