Refrigerator or Freezer
section is too warm.
Refrigerator 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 Refrigerator 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 refrigerator should not be operated in
temperatures above 110F.
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 refrigerator
will reduce this effect.

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 30 minutes and
confirm the proper temperature has been restored
once the defrost cycle has completed.
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 raise slightly and condensation
may form on the back wall. Wait 30 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.
