Drawer Too Warm - Double Drawer Refrigerator

Possible Solutions

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?

This obstructs cold air movement between the compartments. Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. 

Are the drawers opened often?

The refrigerator drawers will warm when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator drawers cool by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator drawers?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator drawers. It can take several hours for the refrigerator drawers to return to the normal temperature. 

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

See “Using the Controls” in Owner's Manual.

Are the refrigerator drawers not cooling?

Turn them off then on again to reset. See “Using the Controls” in the Owner's Manual. If this does not correct the problem, call for service.

Is the ice maker turned on?

When ice maker is operated, the heat of ice maker is added to the refrigerator. The motor normally will run longer in order to make the ice. If the ice maker is turned ON when the water can not be supplied automatically (not connecting to the water source, etc.), the heat of ice maker will be added to the refrigerator, the motor will run longer and the energy consumption will increase.
