• The door is reopened within a short
time after having been opened.
• Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they
touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or
kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
•When you open the door, warmer air enters
the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can
create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open,
wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.

• The control is not set correctly for the
surrounding conditions.
• A large amount of food has just been
added to the refrigerator or freezer.
• The food is not packaged correctly.
•The doors are not closing completely.
• When the door is opened, warm humid air
is allowed into the refrigerator. The more the
door is opened, the faster the humidity builds
up, and the more warm air the refrigerator
must cool. In order to keep the refrigerator
cool, try to get everything you need out of the
refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it
is easy to nd and close the door as soon as
the food is removed.
• Refer to the CONTROL PANEL FEATURES
section. Wait 24 hours for temperatures to
stabilize or even out. If the temperature is too
cold or too warm, move the dial one number
at a time.
• Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can
take a few hours for the refrigerator to return
to normal temperature.
• Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp
containers prior to storing in the refrigerator
to avoid moisture accumulation. If necessary,
repackage food according to the guidelines in
the FOOD STORAGE GUIDE section.
