GE french door Fridge, freezer has light frost

I have a 2 month old GE Profile french door bottom fridge that
recently I noticed light frost on the ceiling of the freezer. It's not
a lot, but enough that some got on the drawer tracks of the pull out
tray, making it a little harder to pull out. I also noticed some on
the clear lens cover of the light bulb. Could this be the result of
me raising the temp of the freezer slightly ?. They recommend 0 deg
for the freezer, and I bumped it up to like 3 deg because I thought
the ice cream was kind of hard.

Three words...WARRANTY...WARRANTY...WARRANTY! IIRC that is one of
their better appliances and something isn't right. This isn't anything
you should have to struggle with. Odds are their customer service will
come to the rescue (we can hope). Give them a call.

anytime I have ever had frost, one of the kids had left the door open.

I understand there is a warranty, but I just thought I ask in case
it's something simple. The frost is very light, not thick, and it's
been consistent for the past 2 weeks. I'll keep an eye on it.
I recently fixed my GE washer myself recently, even though it was
under warranty. Turned out the water pump was clogged with foam from a
broken stuffed animal. The GE tech was not coming for a few days. With
a family of 5, laundry starts to pile up quick.
Believe me, sometimes these repairmen make things worse when they
leave.

Hey Mike! Uh oh!....I have the exact same unit (altho ours is a
narrow model to fit in our new frig space). I plugged ours in about a
week ago. Pls let me know what you find out!!

Fridge door won't close Fridge door won't close properly. It closes but then pops open an inch. If you give it a hard nudge sometimes it stays closed, but even then the top corner has a gap. Any ideas? I can't replace the fridge, it belongs to my landlord.

Frost forgiving gate latch? We had a new fence and two gates installed last fall and despite the spiel about 4' holes and two bags of cement per 6" post they have moved. This means that the gates no longer latch on any given day, as the peg won't allow the catch to close. The frost

Should I call a repairman? (Freezer) I recently purchased a frost free Kenmore upright freezer. It replacea a GE manual defrost freezer. The new one makes all sorts of strange noises. Gurgling sounds, a sound that sounds like air coming from a nozzle. And some other sounds. The majority of t
