ferent things number of door openings, amount of
food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls
And, your new refrigerator may be larger than
your old one so it nas more space to be cooled It also has a regular freezer Instead of a frozen food
compartment All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one.
