Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Food is freezing
in the refrigerator
compartment.
Food with high water content was
placed near an air vent.
Rearrange items with high water content away from air
vents.
Refrigerator temperature control is set
incorrectly.
If the temperature is too cold, 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.
Refrigerator is installed in a cold
location.
When the refrigerator is operated in temperatures
below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator
compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated
in temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Frost or ice crystals
form on frozen food
(outside of package).
Door is opened frequently 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. Increased moisture will lead to frost and
condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency
and duration of door openings.
Refer to the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open"
Door is not closing properly.

Condensation from food with a high
water content has frozen inside of the
food package.
This is normal for food items with a high water content.
Food has been left in the freezer for a
long period of time.
Do not store food items with high water content in the
freezer for a long period of time.

The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi
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 filt ration system is
used.
Reverse osmosis filt ration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount and result in
icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)
Tubing connecting refrigerator to
house supply valve is kinked.
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.
