GENERAL OPERATION Temperature is too cold in the refrigerator/crisper Temperature is too warm/ cold in the exterior drawer Interior moisture buildup Frost/Ice buildup in the freezer compartment Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions ■ Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a warmer setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours. ■ Ice storage bin is not in the correct position - See "Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin." ■ Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents. ■ Control is not set correctly for the items stored in the drawer - Adjust the temperature setting. See "Temperature Controlled Exterior Drawer." NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a soft dry cloth. ■ Room is humid - A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Only use the refrigerator in an indoor location, with as little humidity as possible. ■ Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows humid air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are properly sealed. ■ The drawer is opened often or left open - Minimize drawer openings and close drawer completely after use. ■ Poor drawer seal - Ensure drawer seal is making full contact with the cabinet to allow for an adequate seal. ■ Temperature control(s) are not set correctly - See "Using the Control(s)" for recommended temperature settings. WARNING Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. DOORS AND LEVELING Doors are difficult to open Doors will not close completely Doors appear to be uneven Refrigerator unsteady or it rolls forward when opening and closing doors or drawers Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions ■ Gaskets are dirty or sticky - Clean the gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. ■ Door is blocked open - Move food packages away from the door. Make sure all bins and shelves are in their correct positions. Make sure all packaging materials have been removed. ■ Doors need to be aligned, or refrigerator needs to be leveled - See "Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment." ■ Refrigerator brake feet are not snug against the floor - Remove the base grille. Turn both brake feet (one on each side) clockwise, the same amount, until they are snug against the floor. See "Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment." 26
