SOLUTIONS
Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator
to cool completely.
Turn on cooling. See "Using the Controls."
Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check the temperature
in 24 hours. See "Using the Control(s)."
Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door
openings and keep doors fully closed.
Allow several hours for refrigerator to return
to normal temperature.
If the air vent located in the top, left, rear corner of the
refrigerator compartment is blocked by items placed directly in
front of it, the refrigerator will get too cold. Move items away
from the air vent.
Adjust the controls a setting warmer. Check the temperature in
24 hours. See "Using the Controls."
See "Ice Maker."
Adjust the control setting. See "Refrigerator Features."
A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup.
Allows humid air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize
door openings and close doors completely.
Move food packages away from door.
Push bin or shelf back into the correct position.
This adds humidity to the refrigerator interior. Keep
all containers tightly covered.
Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.
Ensure door seals are making full contact with the
refrigerator cabinet to allow for an adequate seal.
See "Using the Controls" for recommended
temperature settings.
