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.

on models without a water fitter and between 40 and
120 psi on models with a water filter.
if the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact
a plumber.
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.
