• Freezer control is set
too cold.
• Fresh Food/freezer gasket
is dirty, worn, cracked, or
poorly tted.
• Condenser is dirty.
• It’s normal for the refrigerator to work

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.
Compressor
goes off and on
frequently.
• Thermostat keeps the
refrigerator at a constant
temperature.
• This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and
off to keep temperature constant. (Single
