Temperature Control UI Location
The Temperature Control UI is located on the side of the left refrigerator door. The water and ice dispenser, and additional features are located on the Control UI above the dispenser.
Initial Temperature Settings
When you first install your refrigerator, ensure the temperature controls are set to the recommended set points: 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (−18°C) for the freezer.
Important Notes on Temperature Control

- Areas such as a garage, basement, or porch may have higher humidity or extreme temperatures. Adjustments away from recommended settings may be needed.
- When power is on, the temperature display shows the set point temperature of the compartment.
- Wait 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. Adding food too soon may cause spoilage.
- Adjusting controls to a colder setting will not cool compartments faster.
- If temperatures are too warm or too cold, check air vents for blockages before adjusting controls.
- Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and recheck temperatures.
