The door is reopened within a short time after having been opened.

Then...

Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or paraffin wax on the gaskets after cleaning

When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily.

TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP

Check if...

Then...

The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections.

The doors are opened often.

The control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.

A large amount of food has just been added to the refrigerator or freezer,

The food is not packaged correctly.

The doors are not closing completely

The weather is humid.

A self-defrost cycle was completed.

Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and

move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Refer to ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

section for the location of air vents.

When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into the refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator must cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

Refer to the CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section. Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the temperature is too cold or too warm, adjust the temperature one setting at a time.

Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours for the refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp containers prior to storing in the refrigerator to avoid moisture accumulation.

If necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the FOOD STORAGE GUmDE section.

See Doors Will Not Close Completely.

In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator when doors are opened.

It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts.
