Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? Remove any
objects from in front of the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air
Circulation” for the location of air vents.

Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and
closing the door as soon as possible.

securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before
