Solution
• Try raising the temperature
slightly in the affected
compartment.
• Check to make sure the door
gaskets are clean and sealing
well against the metal cabinet
frame.
• Reduce the frequency of door
openings.
• Let hot foods cool to room
temperature and cover foods
and liquids.
• It is normal for some wet air
to collect inside the enclosed
crisper. To reduce the
accumulation of moisture,
lower the humidity setting and/
or raise the fresh food
compartment temperature.
• When placing foods in the
fridge, first pat them off with
a dry cloth to remove excess
moisture.
• Check door gaskets and
reduce door openings.
Possibly raise fresh food
temperature.
• A small amount of dew or
water moisture is normal. It is
best to wipe it down with a dry
cloth to improve performance.
• A slight increase in the com-
partment temperatures can
reduce this moisture formation.
• Check door gasket for proper
seal and cleaning.
