There is interior moisture build-up
Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer to
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.
Is the door opened often?
To avoid humidity build-up, 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.
(When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters
the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster
humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.)
Is the room humid?
It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator
when the room air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly?
Check that all food is securely wrapped. If necessary,
repackage food according to the guidelines in the
“Refrigerator Features” section. Wipe off damp food
containers before placing in the refrigerator.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
Refer to the “Setting the Control(s)” section.
Was a self-defrost cycle completed?
It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the
refrigerator self-defrosts.
The doors are difficult to open
Are the gaskets dirty or sticky?
Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.
The doors will not close completely
Are food packages blocking the door open?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up
less space.
Is the ice bin out of position?
Push the ice bin in all the way.
Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out
of position?
Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets
back into their correct positions. See the “Refrigerator
Features” section for more information.
Are the gaskets sticking?
Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.
Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable?
Level the refrigerator. Refer to the “Door Closing and
Alignment” section.
Were the doors removed during product installation and
not properly replaced?
Remove and replace the doors according to the “Refrigerator
Doors: Removing, Reversing (optional) and Replacing”
section, or call a qualified service technician.
