Why is my Hitachi Refrigerator not cooling properly?

  lancejohnsonAug 14, 2025
  If your Hitachi refrigerator isn't cooling properly, several factors could be at play. If it was just installed, allow up to 4 hours, or even 24 hours in the summer, to reach optimal cooling. Ensure correct installation and set the freezer to -19 ºC or -18 ºC and the refrigerator to 3 ºC or 4 ºC. Minimize door openings and closings, and make sure the door seals completely without gaps. Also, ensure food or plastic bags aren't obstructing the door. If needed, adjust the freezer to -22 ºC or -21 ºC and the refrigerator to 2 ºC or 3 ºC.

  Blake WillisAug 20, 2025
  If food is freezing in your Hitachi Refrigerator compartment, the temperature may be set too low. Adjust the temperature setting to between 3 ºC and 5 ºC. Also, avoid placing moist foods directly in front of the cold air outlet or against the back of a refrigerator compartment shelf. If food is touching the back left wall, either increase the temperature setting or move the food slightly away from the compartment partition.

Why does the other door open when I close one door of my Hitachi R-M600GP2TH Refrigerator?
