■The air vents are blocked in the refrigerator.
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer

To avoid humidity build-up, 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. (When the door is opened, humidity
from the room air enters the refrigerator. The more often
the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up,
especially when the room itself is very humid.)
