Problem | Cause | Solution |
3.2Water droplets collect in the lower crisper drawer areas.
3.3Water forms at underside of the crisper glass covers.
3.2.1Humidity settings are set too high.
3.3.1Moisture given off from wet foods.
3.3.2Door seal leaks or frequent door openings in humid environment.
3.2.1.1It is normal for some wet air to collect inside the enclosed crisper. To reduce the accumulation of moisture, lower the humidity setting and/or raise the fresh food compartment temperature.
3.3.1.1When placing foods in the fridge first pat them with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.
3.3.2.1Check the door gaskets and reduce door openings. Possibly raise fresh food temperature.
Water/humidity/frost on the outside of the fridge
4.1 | Wet air forms droplets of water | 4.1.1 Warm, humid air in the |
| on the outside edges of the | environment mixes with |
| fridge. | cooler air at the door gasket |
|
| areas of the fresh food |
|
| and freezer compartments |
|
| causing condensation. |
4.1.1.1A small amount of dew or water moisture is normal. It is best to wipe it down with a dry cloth to improve performance.
4.1.1.2A slight increase in the compartment temperatures can reduce this moisture formation.
4.1.1.3Check door gasket for proper seal and clean.

5.2.2.2Make sure the water valve supply is open all the way.
5.2.2.3Make sure the water filter is distributing enough water and is not clogged.
5.2.3.1Make sure the drawer gaskets are sealing and kept clean from dirt or debris.
5.3.1.1Check the movement of the ice maker sensor arm so it rests in the ‘up’ position.
5.3.1.2Make sure that no frozen packs or objects are obstructing the ice maker sensor arm.
