COOLING
Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Refrigerator is installed in a hot location. The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures
21°C (70°F) expect your compressor to run
about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more often.
The refrigerator should not be operated above
43°C (110°F).
Condenser / back cover is clogged. Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil
area.
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.
Air vents are blocked. 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 43°C (110F).
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 raise 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.
