■

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 
convertible refrigerator/freezer? Adding a large amount of 
food warms the convertible refrigerator/freezer. It can take 
several hours for the convertible refrigerator/freezer to return to 
the normal temperature.

■

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? 
See “Using the Controls.”

■

Are the air vents blocked in the convertible refrigerator/
freezer? Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See 
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for air vent locations.

■

Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by 
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and 
closing the door as soon as possible.

■

Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside 
the convertible refrigerator/freezer when the room air is humid.

■

Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is securely 
wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing them in 
the convertible refrigerator/freezer.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? 
See “Using the Controls.”

■

Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for droplets to 
form after the convertible refrigerator/freezer self-defrosts.

■

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and the surface 
that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets 
following cleaning.

■

Have you opened the convertible refrigerator/freezer door 
recently? Allow at least 10 seconds after closing the convertible 
refrigerator/freezer door before trying to open the upper 
compartment.

■

Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange 
containers so that they fit more tightly.

■

Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of 
position? Put these items into their correct positions. See 
“Lower Compartment Features” for more information.

■

Does the convertible refrigerator/freezer wobble or seem 
unstable? Level the convertible refrigerator/freezer. See “Adjust 
the Doors.”

■

Were the doors removed during product installation and not 
properly replaced? Remove and replace the doors according to 
“Convertible Refrigerator/Freezer Doors,” or call a qualified 
service technician.
