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 effect, 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 be raised slightly
and condensation may form on the back
wall. Wait 40 minutes and confirm 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.
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
temperature below 55°F (13°C).
