Refrigerator - Condensation in Fresh Food Compartment

If the doors are opened frequently, left open or even left slightly ajar, it would not be unusual to see some moisture or condensation on the shelves, packages or walls inside a refrigerator.

 

Resolving a Concern With Condensation in the Fresh Food Compartment of a Refrigerator

Please try the following to resolve this problem:

 

  • Remove any moisture with a dry towel.

  • Turn the temperature control to a cooler setting. Refer to the Owner's Manual for information on adjusting the temperature in your refrigerator.

  • Make sure the doors close and seal properly.

  • Check the door gasket. If the gasket has cuts, tears or rips it needs to be replaced. View the following video to see how to adjust your door gasket.
