temperature.
Ensure there is suffi cient clearance around all sides and
above the refrigerator. •
•
•
•
The refrigerator is too cold
The temperature control dial may be set too high
If you place foods that contain a lot of moisture directly
under the cooling outlets, they will freeze easily. This

the refrigerator and onto the fl oor
Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not
clogged.
Check that the drain pan is housed properly. •
•

condensation pipe that heats up the cabinet when
running. This does not indicate a refrigerator
malfunction. •
Condensation is forming on the front of
the refrigerator
Condensation may form on the outside when the
humidity level is high. This is the same result as the
condensation formed when chilled water is poured
