GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions

Temperature is too warm

■ New installation: 

cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either

compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.

■ Doors are opened often or not closed completely: This allows warm air to enter the refrigerator.

Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are properly

sealed.

■ Air vents are blocked: Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.

■ Large amount of warm food recently added: Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return

to its normal temperature.

■ Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions: Adjust the controls to a colder

■ Top refrigerator shelf is colder than lower shelves: On some models, air from the freezer enters

the refrigerator compartment through vents near the top refrigerator shelf. As a result,

the top shelf can be slightly colder than lower shelves.

■ Air vents are blocked: Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.

Interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a soft dry cloth.

■ Room is humid: A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Use the refrigerator only

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.

Interior lights do not work

■ Doors have been open for an extended period of time: Close the doors to reset the lights.

■ Light bulb is loose in the socket or has burned out: On models with incandescent interior light

bulbs, tighten or replace the bulb. See the “Lights” section.

NOTE: On models with LED lights, call for assistance or service if the interior lights do not

illuminate when either door is opened. See the Warranty for contact information.

Dispenser lights do not work

■ Dispenser light is set to Auto or Night Light: On some models, if the dispenser light is set to

Auto or Night Light, make sure the dispenser light sensor is not blocked. See the “Water and Ice

Dispensers” section.

NOTE: On models with LED lights, call for assistance or service if the dispenser lights do not

operate correctly. See the Warranty for contact information.
