Check if...
The refrigerator is defrosting.
It is more humid than normal.
Water in the defrost pan is overflowing.
Then...
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.
Check to make sure your refrigerator is level. (See “Leveling it” on page 8.) If it is still overflowing there is probably something wrong with the refrigerator. Call the Consumer Assistance Center at

Check if...
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
A large amount of food has just been added to the refrigerator.
The door is opened often.
The controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.
The doors are not closed completely.
The doors are misaligned.
The base grille is dirty or blocked.
The condenser coils are dirty.
Then...
Expect the motor to 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 of the time.
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. See food storage on page 27.
Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food orga- nized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
See “Howthe controls work” on page 12.
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see “Thedoors will not close completely,” on page 35.
See “Leveling it” on page 8 or call the Consumer Assistance Center at
This prevents air circulation and makes the motor work harder. Remove the grille and clean, See Removing the base grille” on page 25.
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the.condenser coils. See “Cleaning your refrigerator” on page 25.
If the problem is not due to any of the above, remem- ber that your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due to its high efficiency motor.
