TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Cooling
Problem
Possible Causes
Solutions
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. (Refer to
the Airflow diagram in the Using Your Refrigerator
section.)
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.
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 not closed correctly.
See the Doors will not close correctly or pop open
section in Parts & Features 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. Refer to the Setting the
Controls section for more information.
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.
Refrigerator or
Freezer section
is too cold.
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.
Items in the
Cheese & Butter
and Condiment
bins are not as
cool as other
items in the
refrigerator.
The Cheese & Butter and
Condiment bins will be
slightly warmer than the
refrigerator compartment.
This is normal. Items that you would like to keep
cooler should be stored in the refrigerator section.
