Temperature is too warm

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This prevents cold air movement between the compartments. Move objects away from the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for air vent locations.

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 “Using the Control(s),” depending on your model.

There is interior moisture buildup

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

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 them in the refrigerator.

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See “Using the Control(s),” depending on your model.

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

The doors are difficult to open

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.

The doors will not close completely

Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly.

Is the ice bin out of position? Push the ice bin in all the way.

Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position? Put these items into their correct positions. See “Refrigerator Features” for more information.

Are the gaskets sticking? Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.

Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the refrigerator. See “Adjust the Doors.”

Were the doors removed during product installation and not properly replaced? Remove and replace the doors according to “Refrigerator Doors,” or call a qualified service technician.
