Storing liquid in open containers There is frost/ice buildup in the freezer compartment The drawer is opened often or left open. Poor door seal Temperature controls are not set correctly. Ice and Water SOLUTIONS A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Allows humid air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door openings and close doors completely. Move food packages away from door. Push bin or shelf back into the correct position. This adds humidity to the refrigerator interior. Keep all containers tightly covered. Minimize drawer openings and close drawer completely after use. Ensure door seals are making full contact with the refrigerator cabinet to allow for an adequate seal.
