too cold.
• Fresh Food/freezer
gasket is dirty, worn,
cracked, or poorly fitted.
• Condenser is dirty.
• It’s normal for the refrigerator to work
longer under these conditions.

until refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.
Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.

seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in
order to maintain desired temperatures.
• Clean condenser. See Care & Cleaning.
