(When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters
the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster
humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.)

when the room air is humid.

Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food
containers before placing in the refrigerator.

nAre food packages blocking the door open?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up
less space.
nIs the ice bin or ice bucket out of position?
For models with an interior ice bin, push the ice bin in all the
way. If the ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put
in straight. Pull it out and try again. For models with an ice
bucket, the bucket should set level on the freezer door. To
remove the bucket, press the release button on the right side
of the bucket and lift straight up. Replace the bucket in the
door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely
into place. Refer to the ?Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket?
section.

back into their correct positions. See the ?Crisper and Crisper
Cover? section for more information.

Clean gaskets according to the directions in the ?Cleaning
Your Refrigerator? section.
