ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING 25 Problem Possible Cause & Solution Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package). Door is not closing properly. • Refer to the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section in the Troubleshooting. 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 closed correctly. • See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section in the Troubleshooting. 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. Defrost cycle has recently completed. • During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed. Parts & Features Problem Doors will not close correctly or pop open. Doors are difficult to open. Possible Cause & Solution Food packages are blocking the door open. • Rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves. Ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are out of position. • Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Operation section for more information.
