when to get help
- get help for persistent abnormal cooling, a door that will not seal or damaged controls. do not disturb the sealed refrigerant circuit.
steps
- reposition sensitive food
move watery food away from the cooling vents and put suitable fruit and vegetables in the crisper. keep the vents clear rather than packing food against them.
- review the fridge setting
if the compartment is too cold, move the fridge control to a less-cold setting using this model's temperature instructions. keep food behind the freezer-floor ribs so the top door closes properly.
- check whether the problem persists
if food continues to freeze away from the vents after the setting settles, arrange service. do not remove interior panels or assume which sensor needs replacing.
