Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?

prevents the movement of cold air from the freezer to the
refrigerator. Remove any objects from in front of the air vents.
See the “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” section for the
location of air vents.

Are the door(s) opened often?
The refrigerator will warm
when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all
items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing
the door as soon as possible.
■
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer?
Adding a large amount of food
warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the
refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
See the “Setting or Using the Controls” section.

For models with digital
controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See the

of the bucket and lift straight up. Replace the bucket in the
door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely
into place. See the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket”
section.
