Is a bulb burned out?

Is something on top of or behind the refrigerator?

Some new sounds are normal. See “Understanding the sounds you may hear” on page 16.

This is normal on hot, muggy days. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan does not overflow.

Are the condenser coils dirty?

Has the door been open often? Has a large amount of food been added at one time? The motor naturally runs longer in these cases.

Is the room hot? If the room is too warm, the motor runs longer to keep the unit cool.
