TROUBLESHOOTING 41 ENGLISH Problem Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment. Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package). Refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold. Frost or ice crystals on frozen food (inside of sealed package). Possible Causes Solutions Food with high water content was placed near an air vent. Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents. Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly. If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information. Refrigerator is installed in a cold location. When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C). Door is opened frequently 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. Increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings. Door is not closing properly. Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in the Troubleshooting section. Incorrect temperature control settings. If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information. Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package. This is normal for food items with a high water content. Food has been left in the freezer for a long Do not store food items with high water content in period of time. the freezer for a long period of time. Icemaker is not making enough ice. Demand exceeds ice storage capacity. House water supply is not connected, valve is not turned on fully, or valve is clogged. The icemaker will produce approximately 100 cubes in a 24 hour period. Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve fully open. Water filter has been exhausted. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber. It is recommended that you replace the water filter: Low house water supply pressure. • Approximately every six months. • When the water filter indicator turns on. • When the water dispenser output decreases. • When the ice cubes are smaller than normal. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter. Reverse Osmosis filtration system is used. Tubing connecting refrigerator to house supply valve is kinked. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber. Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.) The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it to prevent future kinks.
