Problem

Possible Causes

Solutions

Fridge or Freezer 

section is too 

warm.

Fridge was recently installed.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment 

to reach the desired temperature.

Air vents are blocked.

Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout 

the compartment. Refer to the Airflow diagram in 

the Using Your Fridge 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 effect, reduce the frequency and duration of 

door openings.

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

temperatures above 110°F(43°C).

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 

fridge will reduce this effect.

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 raise slightly and condensation 

may form on the back wall. Wait 40 minutes 

and confirm the proper temperature has been 

restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
