Solutions
Normal Operation
Rearrange food containers to clear the door and
door shelves.
Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover,
pans, shelves and baskets into their correct
positions. See the Using Your Refrigerator section
for more information.
Remove and replace the doors according to the
Removing and Replacing Refrigerator Handles
and Doors section.
See Door Alignment in the Refrigeration
Installation section to level refrigerator.
Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they
touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or
kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the
refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create
a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one
minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then
see if it opens more easily.
Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
It may be necessary to add shims under the
leveling legs or rollers to complete installation.
The refrigerator compartment lamp is LED interior
lighting, and service should be performed by a
qualified technician.
Set the Air Filter to the MAX setting. If the odor
does not go away within 24 hours, the filter may
need to be replaced. See the Replacing the Air
Filter section for replacement instructions.
Make sure that the refrigerator is not located near
a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney or
candle.
