Have you ever wondered why even though you keep turning your refrigerator climatic characteristic down it still does not seem any colder, well, when you reach into turn the dial can you in fact see the dial or is your refrigerator so crammed full that you have to feel your way in. As important as it is to keep the surface clean it is equally important to keep the food properly stored and not over stuffed.

At air temperatures below 40 F. The compressor stops running, so the freezer compartment rises to air climatic characteristic and food thaws and spoils. Also below 32 F. Water melted during the self-operating defrost cycle may freeze again and block air passages.

For short vacations, leave refrigerator on but use up or discard perishable food, and if you have ice makers, turn off the mechanism and water line following your hand-operated directions.

Remember treat your refrigerator well and it will treat you well.

Once the gasket is thoroughly installed, use duct tape to hold the door shut tight for a day or so and it will seat itself.
