Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator
cabinet may be
warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence
that
helps prevent moisture from condensing
on the
cabinet. This condition will be more noticeable when
you first start the refrigerator,
during hot weather and
after excessive or lengthy door openings.
