REFRIGERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING: TEMPERATURE ISSUES

A refrigerator needs to be just the right temperature. If yours isn’t, we want to help.

Let’s see what may be going on.

Food freezing in the refrigerator

The temperature could be set too high. If that’s not the problem, the ice maker could be turned on but not connected to the water supply line. This will cause the refrigerator to become too cold.

Frosting or condensation

A certain amount of condensation on your refrigerator is normal, especially during the more humid months. However, if there’s a lot, or if you have frosting, here are some things you can do:

  • Keep the door closed as much as possible. This will reduce the amount of humid air coming in and, in turn, the amount of frost or condensation.
  • Make sure there’s nothing obstructing the gasket seal around the door.
  • Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent. Improper air flow can cause moisture build-up.
