During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may raise slightly and condensa-
tion may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes
and confirm that the proper temperature has
been restored once the defrost cycle has com-
pleted.
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.
Rearrange items with high water content away
from air vents.
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 Pad
section for more information.
When the refrigerator is operated in temperatures
below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigera-
tor compartment. The refrigerator should not be
operated in temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
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.
Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop
open section in the Troubleshooting section.
If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control
one increment at a time and wait for the tempera-
ture to stabilize. Refer to the Control Pad section
for more information.
