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 opened often? Has a large amount of food been added at one time? The motor naturally runs longer if these things happen.

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