How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the damper or control housing.

Steps:

  • Adjust settings: Raise the refrigerator temperature setting one or two levels and monitor for 24 hours.
  • Check damper: Inspect the air damper for a stuck-open condition. Replace the damper assembly if it does not move.
  • Relocate sensitive items: Keep produce and liquids away from direct air vents where the coldest air enters.
  • Replace thermistor: If the control reads warmer than actual temperature, the fresh food thermistor may be faulty and should be replaced.
