Adjusting the Temperature Controls

Temperature Controls

Adjusting the Temperature Controls

24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the table below.

Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change either control more than one number at a time.

Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before resetting.

Changing either control will have some effect on the temperature of the other compartment.

NOTE: Turning the control to OFF or 0 stops cooling in BOTH compartments. It does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

No Defrosting

Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.

NOTE: During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow/reflection in the vents on the back wall of the freezer compartment and you may hear the sound of water droplets coming into contact with the defrost heater. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. The condition will be more noticeable when you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door openings.
