When the door is opened, warm, humid air is allowed in the freezer resulting in frost.

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. 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.
