A crisper slider is not a temperature dial. Whirlpool explains how LOW and HIGH change humidity, and notes that not every refrigerator has this control.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

1. Check your manual and drawer labels; not all refrigerators have humidity sliders.
2. Use LOW or an open vent to let moisture escape, suitable for many fruits and produce with skins.
3. Use HIGH or a closed vent to retain moisture for leafy greens such as lettuce and spinach.
4. Separate produce by condition, remove damaged leaves, and do not obstruct drawer vents.
5. Follow produce-specific washing and drying guidance. In particular, wash berries only when ready to use if directed.
6. Inspect for pooling water and spoilage, monitor refrigerator temperature, and defer to your model's instructions if different.
