The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the waft dividing the two sections. Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Refer to Multi Flow section for the location of the air vents. The doors are opened often. When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into the refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator must cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, 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.
