Problem Possible causes Solutions
COMPRESSOR
MOTOR SEEMS TO
RUN TOO MUCH
• The refrigerator that was replaced was
an older model.
• The room temperature is hotter than
normal.
• The refrigerator was recently plugged
in and the refrigerator control was set
correctly.
• The door is opened often or a large
amount has just been added.
• The refrigerator control was not set
correctly for the surrounding conditions.
• The doors are not closed completely.
• The condenser coils are dirty.
• Modern refrigerators with more storage space
require more operating time.
• 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 refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to
cool completely.
• Adding food and opening the door warms
the refrigerator. It is normal for the
refrigerator to run longer 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. See the FOOD
STORAGE GUIDE section.
• See the ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Section.
• Push the doors rmly shut. If they will not
shut all the way, see Doors will not close
completely below.
•This prevents air transfer and makes the
motor work harder. Clean the condenser
coils. Refer to the CARE AND CLEANING
section.
DOORS WILL NOT
CLOSE
COMPLETELY
• The refrigerator is not level.
• Food packages are blocking the door
open.
• The ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves,
door bins or baskets are out of position.
• The gaskets are sticking.
• The refrigerator wobbles or seems
unstable.
• The doors were removed during
product installation and not properly
replaced.
• See the REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
AND DOOR ALIGNMENT section to level
refrigerator.
• Rearrange food containers to clear door and
door shelves.
• Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover,
pans, shelves and baskets into their correct
positions. See the USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR Section.
• Clean gaskets and the surface that they
touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gaskets after cleaning.
• Level the refrigerator. Refer to the DOOR
ALIGNMENT section.
• Remove and replace the doors according to
the REMOVING AND REPLACING
REFRIGERATOR DOORS section, or call
qualified service technician.
THE DOORS ARE
DIFFICULT TO
OPEN
• The gaskets are dirty or sticky.
• The door is reopened within a short
time after having been opened.
• Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they
touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or
kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
•When you open the door, warmer air enters
the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can
create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open,
wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
