COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH
Check if...
Then...
The refrigerator that was replaced was an older
model.
Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more
operating time.
Even though this refrigerator may run more
than your oider one it wiii stiii use iess energy.
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
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. See the
Food Storage Guide
section
on page 22. 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 will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
The refrigerator control is not set correctly for the
surrounding conditions.
See the
Adjusting Controi Settings
section on page 21.
The doors are not closed completely.
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see
Doors wiii not ciose compieteiy

The back cover is dirty.
A dirty back cover prevents air transfer and makes the motor
work harder. Clean the back cover. Refer to the
Care and
Cleaning
section on page 32-33.
