Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Refrigerator or
Freezer section
is too warm.
Refrigerator was recently installed.
• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment
to reach the desired temperature.
The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the
freezer to the fresh food section and back again
through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections.
• Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow
and move all packages that block vents and restrict
airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow
throughout the compartment.
Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.
• When the doors are opened often or for long
periods of time, warm, humid air enters the
compartment. This raises the temperature and
moisture level within the compartment. To lessen
the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of
door openings.
Unit is installed in a hot location.
• The refrigerator should not be operated in
temperatures above 110 °F (43 °C).
A large amount of food or hot food was added to
either compartment.
• Adding food warms the compartment requiring the
cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to
room temperature before putting it in the
refrigerator will reduce this effect.
Doors are not always closed completely.
• Firmly push the doors shut.
Temperature control is not set correctly.
• If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control
one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize.
