FROST OR ICE CRYSTALS ON FROZEN FOOD

Check if...

Then...

The door is not closing properly.

See

Doors will not close completely

above.

The door is opened often.

When the door is opened, warm, humid air is allowed in the
freezer, resulting in frost.

ICE HAS BAD TASTE OR ODOR

Check if...

Then...

The icemaker was recently installed.

Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or bad

tasting ice.

The ice has been stored for too long.

Throw away old ice and make a new supply.

The food has not been wrapped tightly in either
compartment.

Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not

wrapped properly.

The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.

A filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor

problems.

The interior of refrigerator needs cleaning.

See

Care and Cleaning

section on pages 32-33.

THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST DRAIN PAN

Check if...

Then...

The refrigerator is defrosting.

The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the
defrost pan.

It is more humid than normal.

Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to

evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.
