Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This
prevents the movement of cold air from the freezer to the
refrigerator.
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer to the
"Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section for the location of air
vents.
Are the door(s) opened often?
Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this occurs. In
order to keep the refrigerator cool, 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.
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?

the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster
humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.)

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