Solutions
• Set the refrigerator control.
• This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting
refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically.
• Make sure the plug is tightly pushed into the
outlet.
• Call the local electric company.
• This is normal. Larger, more efficient units run
longer.
• It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer
under these conditions.
• It takes a few hours for the refrigerator to reach
cooling temperatures.
• Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer
until the desired temperature is reached.
• Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run
more. Open the door less often.
• Make sure the refrigerator is level. Keep food and
containers from blocking the door.
• Adjust the refrigerator control to a warmer setting
until the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.
• Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door
seal will cause the refrigerator to run longer in
order to maintain desired temperatures.
• This is normal. The refrigerator cycles on and off
to keep the temperature constant.
• Adjust the freezer control to a warmer setting until
the freezer temperature is satisfactory.
• Adjust the refrigerator control to a warmer setting.
