Whirlpool ST21PKXJW00 Assistance Or Service, In the U.S.A, There is interior moisture build-up

■Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator or freezer?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.

■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

Refer to the “Setting the Control(s)” section.

There is interior moisture build-up

■Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?

Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer to “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.

■Is the door opened often?

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.)

■Is the room humid?

It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.

■Is the food packaged correctly?

Check that all food is securely wrapped. If necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the “Refrigerator Features” section. Wipe off damp food containers before placing in the refrigerator.

■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

Refer to the “Setting the Control(s)” section.

■Was a self-defrost cycle completed?

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

The doors are difficult to open

■Are the gaskets dirty or sticky?

Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.

The doors will not close completely

■Are food packages blocking the door open?

Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space.

■Is the ice bin out of position? Push the ice bin in all the way.

■Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position?

Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets back into their correct positions. See the “Refrigerator Features” section for more information.

■Are the gaskets sticking?

Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.

■Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the refrigerator. Refer to the “Door Closing and Alignment” section.

■Were the doors removed during product installation and not properly replaced?

Remove and replace the doors according to the “Refrigerator Doors: Removing, Reversing (optional) and Replacing” section, or call a qualified service technician.
