Common Solutions for Concerns
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Refrigerator Operations (continued)
Refrigerator
runs too
much or too
long.
• Room or outside
weather is hot.
• Refrigerator has recently
been disconnected for a
period of time.
• Automatic ice maker is
operating.
• Doors are opened too
frequently or too long.
• Refrigerator/freezer door
may be slightly open.
• Freezer control is set too
cold (control found on
side of left hand door).
• Fresh food/freezer
gasket is dirty, worn,
cracked, or poorly fitted.
• This model is provided with
a high-efficiency, variable-
speed compressor.
• It’s normal for the refrigerator to work
longer under these conditions.
• It takes 8-12 hours for the refrigerator
to cool down completely.
• Ice maker operation causes
refrigerator to run slightly more.
• Warm air entering the refrigerator causes
it to run more. Open doors less often.
• Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep
food and containers from blocking
door. See Problem section, Opening/
Closing of Doors/ Drawers.
• Set freezer control to warmer
setting until refrigerator temperature
is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door
seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in
order to maintain desired temperatures.
• It is normal for the compressor to run
for long periods of time.
