Temperature and Moisture

Temperature is too warm
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This obstructs
cold air movement between the compartments. Remove any
objects from in front of the air vents. See "Ensuring Proper Air
Circulation" for the location of air vents.
Door opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter
refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully
closed.
Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator
to return to normal temperature.
Control(s) set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust
the control(s) a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours.
See "Using the Control(s)."
The divider between the two compartments is warm
Internal heaters are used to reduce excess exterior moisture. If still
concerned, call for service.
There is interior moisture buildup
NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.
Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.
Door opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter
refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully
closed.
Control(s) set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust
the control(s) a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours.
See "Using the Control(s)."
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This obstructs
cold air movement between the compartments. Remove any
objects from in front of the air vents. See "Ensuring Proper Air
Circulation" for the location of air vents.
Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for droplets to
form on the back wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts.
There is water in the defrost drain pan
Is the refrigerator defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is
normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
Is it more humid than normal? Expect that the water in the
defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when it
is hot or humid.
