58 TROUBLESHOOTING
Cooling/Ice & Water
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Refrigerator or
Freezer section is
too warm.
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.
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 Control Panel for more information.
Frost or ice crystals
form on frozen food
(inside of sealed
package).
Condensation from food with a
high water content has frozen
inside of the food package.
This is normal for food items with a high water content.
Food has been left in the
freezer for a long period of
time.
Do not store food items with high water content in the
freezer for a long period of time.
Frost or ice crystals
form on frozen
food (outside of
package).
Door is opened frequently 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. Increased moisture will lead to frost and
condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency
and duration of door openings.
Door is not closing properly.
Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open
section in the Troubleshooting section.
