the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
The motor seems to run too much
Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor
will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the
time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.

convertible refrigerator/freezer? Adding a large amount of
food warms the convertible refrigerator/freezer. The motor
normally will run longer to cool the convertible refrigerator/
freezer back down.

when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at
one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as
soon as possible.

conditions? See the "Using the Control(s)" section.
• Are the doors closed completely? Close the doors firmly. If
they do not close completely, see "The doors will not close

makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See
the "Cleaning" section.
NOTE: Your new convertible refrigerator/freezer will run longer
than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.

refrigerator/freezer is equipped with a heater to keep the
convertible refrigerator/freezer operating properly when the
ambient temperature drops too low.

prevents cold air movement between the compartments.
Move objects away from the air vents. See the "Ensuring
Proper Air Circulation" section for air vent locations.
