It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer when the room or outside weather is too warm or hot.If the refrigerator doors are opened too frequently or too long allows warm air to enter the product and therefore causes it to run more often.

Freezer temperature may be set too cold. It is recommended to set the refrigerator section to a warmer setting – this will adjust the freezer temperature.

Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Check the door seal/gasket. Air leaks in the door seal/gasket will cause the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures.

Condenser may be dirty. See the Care and Cleaning section of your Owner’s Manual.

If you just installed your refrigerator, it is connected to a water supply so it can produce ice and dispenser water. However, air can be trapped in the new plumbing lines which can result in 2 or 3 empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. It will also prohibit the water to evenly flow initially from the dispenser. To prime the water supply system, do the following:

Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass or pitcher against the water dispenser paddle.
Keep the glass or pitcher in this position until the water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1-2 minutes.
Continue dispensing water for several minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities.
Discard the water and repeat this process a few more times.
