Check that the refrigerator door closes completely and the gasket seals around the entire perimeter
2
Clean the condenser coils (located underneath or at the rear of the unit) with a coil brush and vacuum
3
Verify the evaporator fan in the freezer is running; if not, see error code FF for troubleshooting
4
Check the air damper between the freezer and fridge compartments to ensure it opens and closes properly
5
If all components are working, the refrigerant system may be low on charge, requiring a professional technician
