  If you are concerned about food spoilage during this process, we recommend scheduling a service for an accurate diagnosis.
• Try this
  1. 1. Transfer your food to a backup refrigerator or cooler if available.
  2. 2. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
  3. 3. Leave both the freezer and refrigerator doors completely open for at least 8 hours to allow the ice to melt.
  4. 4. Use dry towels to wipe up any water inside or around the unit after the ice melts.
  5. 5. Plug the unit back in. It may take 24 to 48 hours for the refrigerator to return to optimal cooling temperatures.
