TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

COOLING

Problem Possible Causes Solutions

Refrigerator or

Freezer section is too

warm.

Refrigerator was recently installed. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to

reach the desired temperature.

The air vents are blocked. Cold air

circulates from the freezer to the

fresh food section and back again

through air vents in the wall dividing

the two sections.

Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airﬂ ow

and move all packages that block vents and

restrict airﬂ ow. Rearrange items to allow air to ﬂ ow

throughout the compartment. (Refer to the Airﬂ ow

diagram in the Using Your Refrigerator section.)

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 eﬀ ect, reduce the

frequency and duration of door openings.

Unit is installed in a hot location. The refrigerator should not be operated in

temperatures above 110°F.

A large amount of food or hot food

was added to either compartment.

Adding food warms the compartment requiring the

cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to

room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator

will reduce this eﬀ ect.

Doors not closed correctly. See the Doors will not close correctly or pop open

section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.

Temperature control is not set

correctly.

If the temperature is too warm, 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.

Defrost cycle has recently completed. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each

compartment may rise slightly and condensation may

form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and conﬁ rm

the proper temperature has been restored once the

defrost cycle has completed.

Interior moisture

buildup.

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 eﬀ ect, 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. 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.

Defrost cycle recently completed. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each

compartment may raise slightly and condensation may

form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and conﬁ rm

that the proper temperature has been restored once

the defrost cycle has completed.

Food is not packaged correctly. 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.
