PROBLEMCAUSE

RUNNING OF REFRIGERATOR

CORRECTION

Compressor does not run.

Refrigerator runs too much or too long.

Compressor goes off and on frequently,

•Freezer control is set to "O'.

•Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.

•Plug at wall outlet is disconnected.

•House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker.

•Power outage.

•Room or outside weather is hot.

•Refrigerator has recently been

disconnected for a period of time.

•Automatic ice maker is operating.

•Doors are opened too frequently or too long.

•Refrigerator/freezer door may be slightly open.

•Freezer control is set too cold (control found in refrigerator section).

•Refrigerator/freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.

•Condenser is dirty.

•Thermostat keeps the refrigerator at a constant temperature.

•	Set freezer control			See Temperature					Controls		section.
•	This is normal		for	a fully automatic				defrost refrigerator.
	The defrost cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 30
	minutes.
•	Ensure plug is tightly				pushed		into	outlet.
•	Check/replace		fuse with a 15 amp time-delay								fuse.
	Reset circuit	breaker.
•	Check house lights. Call local Electric Company.
•	It'snormal for the refrigerator						to work		longer		under
	these conditions.
•	It takes 8-12	hours		for the refrigerator					to cool		down
	completely.
•	Ice maker operation				causes		refrigerator			to run slightly
	more.
•	Warm air entering			the refrigerator				causes it to run
	more. Open doors less often.
•	Ensure refrigerator			is level		Keep		food and containers
	from blocking door. See PROBLEM section
	OPENING/CLOSING				OF DOORSlDRAWERS.
•	Set refrigerator		control to warmer					setting		until
	refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours
	for temperature		to stabilize.
•	Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal will cause
	refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired
	temperatures.
•	Clean condenser.			See Care			& Cleaning			Chart in Care
	and Cleaning		section.
•	This is normal		Refrigerator			goes on and off to keep
	temperature	constant.

•	Adjust Meat Keeper Temperature Control to a lower
	setting. (Meat should be stored at a temperature just
	below the freezing point for maximum fresh storage
	time. It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the
	moisture content of meat.)
