Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Interior moisture
buildup.
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.
Doors are not closed correctly.
See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open"
section.
Weather is humid.
Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the
compartments when the doors are opened leading to
condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of
humidity in the home will help to control the amount of
moisture that can enter the compartments.
Defrost cycle 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 that
the proper temperature has been restored once the
defrost cycle has completed.
Food is not packaged
correctly.
Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp
containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each
compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in
sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.
Food is freezing
in the refrigerator
compartment.
Food with high water content
was placed near an air vent.
Rearrange items with high water content away from air
vents.
Refrigerator temperature
control is set incorrectly.
If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one
increment at a time and wait for the temperature to
stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel section for more
information.
Refrigerator is installed in a
cold location.
When the refrigerator is operated in temperature
below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator
compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in
temperature below 55°F (13°C).
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.
