Symptoms

Reason

Solution

The appliance door is 

not closed tightly.

Is the appliance leaning 

forward?

 

Adjust the front feet to raise the front 

side slightly.

Were the shelves properly 

assembled?

 

Refit the shelves if needed.

Did you close the door with 

excessive force?

 

If you apply too much force or speed 

when closing the door, it may remain 

briefly open before closing. Make 

sure that you do not slam the door 

closed. Close without force.

It is difficult to open 

the appliance door.

Did you open the door right 

after you closed it?

 

If you try to open the appliance door 

within one minute after you closed it, 

you may have difficulties because of 

the pressure inside the appliance.  

Try to open the appliance door again 

in a few minutes so that the internal 

pressure stabilizes.

Door mullion does 

not fold in and out 

properly.

Are front leveling legs 

extended, appliance level, and 

doors aligned?

 

Once the door baskets are filled, the 

doors may become misaligned, 

preventing the door mullion or the 

Auto Open Door function from 

working properly. Extend both front 

leveling legs fully so they are in firm 

contact with the floor. Follow the 

instruction in the Door Alignment 

section to raise the left appliance 

door until the door mullion is once 

again working properly. Adjust the 

right appliance door so it aligns with 

the left appliance door.

There is condensation 

inside the appliance 

or on the bottom of 

the vegetable drawer 

cover.

Did you store hot food without 

cooling it first?

 

Cool the hot food first before putting 

it in the fridge compartment.

Did you leave the appliance 

door open?

 

Although the condensation will 

disappear soon after you close the 

appliance door, you can wipe it with 

a dry cloth.

Do you open and close the 

appliance door too frequently?

 

Condensation can form due to the 

temperature difference from the 

outside. Wipe out the dampness 

with a dry cloth.

Did you put warm or moist 

food inside without sealing it 

in a container?

 

Store food in a covered or sealed 

container.
