Troubleshoong (Connued...)

• THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP

• Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?

• Remove any objects from in front of the air vents.

• Are the doors opened often?

• To avoid humidity buildup, try to get everything that 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.

Refer to “Control Setting Troubleshooting Chart” section (Page 6).

• Is the room humid?

• It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.

• Is food packaged correctly?

• Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing in the

refrigerator. Refer to “Food Storage Guide” section (Pages 12 and 13).

• Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

• Refer to “Set The Controls” section (Page 5).

• Was a self-defrost cycle completed?

• It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts.

• 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.

Refer to “Remove Crispers and Crisper Cover” section (Page 7).

• 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 “Installation” section (Page 3).

• Were the doors removed during product installation and not properly replaced?
