■Are the door(s) opened often? The refrigerator will warm when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.

■Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator or freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.

■Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See the “Using the Controls” section.

■Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See the “Using the Controls” section. If this does not correct the problem, call for service.

There is interior moisture buildup

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

■Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.

■Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing in the refrigerator.

■Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See the “Using the Controls” section.

■Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for droplets to form after the refrigerator self-defrosts.

The doors will not close completely

■Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space.

■Is the ice bin or ice bucket out of position? For models with an interior ice bin, push the ice bin in all the way. If the ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put in straight. Pull it out and try again. For models with an ice bucket located on the freezer door, the bucket should sit level. To remove the bucket, press the release button on the right side of the bucket and lift straight up. Replace the bucket in the door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely into place. See the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” section.

■Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position? Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets back into their correct positions. See the “Crisper and Covers” section for more information.

■Are the gaskets sticking? Clean gaskets according to the directions in the “Cleaning” section.

■Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the refrigerator. See the “Adjust Doors” and “Level Refrigerator” sections in the Installation Instructions.

The doors are difficult to open

■Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets according to the directions in the “Cleaning” section.
