Is the food packaged correctly?

Check that all food is securely wrapped. If necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the “Food Storage Guide” section. Wipe off damp food containers before placing in the refrigerator.

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

Refer to the “Setting the Control” section.

Was a self-defrost cycle completed?

It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall 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 and take up less space.

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 the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets back into their correct positions. See the “Refrigerator Features” section 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. Refer to the “Door Closing and Alignment” section.

Were the doors removed during product installation and not properly replaced?

Remove and replace the doors according to the “Reversing the Door Swing” section, or call a qualified service technician.
