Solutions
• Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.
In order to conserve energy, try to get everything
you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food
organized so it is easy to find, and close the door
as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food
Storage Guide).
• The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
• See the Adjusting Control Settings section.
• Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all
the way, see Doors will not close completely in the
Troubleshooting section.
• This prevents air transfer and makes the motor
work harder. Clean the back cover. Refer to the
Refrigerator Care and Cleaning section.
• See the Refrigerator Installation section.
• Rearrange food containers to clear door and door
shelves.
• Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans,
shelves and baskets into their correct positions.
See the Using your Refrigerator section for more
information.
• Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch.
Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax
on the gaskets after cleaning.
• Level the refrigerator. Refer to Closing and
Aligning the Doors for more information.
• Remove and replace the doors according to the
How to Remove and Install the Refrigerator Doors
section or call a qualified technician.
• See Doors Will not Close Completely in the
Troubleshooting section.
• When the door is opened, warm, humid air is
allowed in the freezer, resulting in frost.
• The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to
drip into the defrost pan.
• Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take
longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot
or humid.
• Throw away old ice and make a new supply.
• Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice
if food is not wrapped properly.
• Read the section Refrigerator Care and Cleaning.
• Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
• Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear
section for more information.
• Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they
touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or
kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
