The upper compartment front liner is warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic
exterior moisture control. Additionally, the convertible refrigerator/
freezer is equipped with a heater to keep the convertible refrigerator/
freezer operating properly when the ambient temperature drops too
low.
Temperature is too warm
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This
prevents cold air movement between the compartments. Move
objects away from the air vents. See "Ensuring Proper Air
Circulation" for air vent locations.
Are the door(s) opened often? The convertible refrigerator/
freezer will warm when this occurs. Keep the convertible
refrigerator/freezer 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
convertible refrigerator/freezer? Adding a large amount of
food warms the convertible refrigerator/freezer. It can take
several hours for the convertible refrigerator/freezer to return to
the normal temperature.
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See "Using the Controls."

Are the air vents blocked in the convertible refrigerator/
freezer? Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See
"Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" for air vent locations.
Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and
closing the door as soon as possible.
Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside
the convertible refrigerator/freezer when the room air is humid.

wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing them in
the convertible refrigerator/freezer.
