refrigerator. Remove any objects from in front of the air vents.
See the “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” section for the
location of air vents.
Are the door(s) opened often? The refrigerator will warm
when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting al!
items out at one time, keeping food organized, and dosing
the door as soon as possible.
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? See the “Using the Controls” section.
Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital
controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See the
“Using the Controls” section. If this does not correct the
