It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment
to reach the desired temperature.
Locate air vents by using your hand to sense
airflow and move all packages that block vents
and restrict airflow. Rearrange items to allow air

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.
The refrigerator should not be operated in
temperatures above 110°F (43 °C).
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.
See the Doors will not close correctly or pop open
section in Troubleshooting.
If the temperature is too warm, adjust the
control one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Pad
section for more information.
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.
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

See the Doors will not close correctly section in
the Troubleshooting section.
Humid weather allows additional moisture to
enter the compartments when the doors are
opened leading to condensation or frost. Main-
taining a reasonable level of humidity in the home
will help to control the amount of moisture that
can enter the compartments.
