COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH

Check if...

Then...

The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model.

The room temperature is hotter than normal.

Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time.

The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to

80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often.

The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.

Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator.

It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. See the Food Storage Guide Section. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything

you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized

so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly

The refrigerator control was not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

See the Adjusting control settings Section.

The doors are not closed completely.

Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see Doors will not close completely below.

The condenser coils are dirty.

This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder.

Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the Care and Cleaning section.
