POSSIBLE CAUSE

OCCURRENCE

RUNNING OF REFRIGERATOR
Refrigerator runs too much or too
long. (continued)

Refrigerator compressor goes on
and off frequently.

TEMPERATURES ARE TOO COLD
Temperature in the freezer is too
cold and the refrigerator
temperature is satisfactory.

Temperature in the refrigerator is
too cold and the freezer temperature
is satisfactory.

Food stored in Crisper freezes.

Food stored in the Meat Keeper
freezes.

TEMPERATURES ARE TOO WARM
Temperature in the freezer is too
warm.

Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty,
worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.

Thermostat is keeping the refrigerator at
a constant temperature.

Freezer control is set too cold.

Refrigerator control is set too cold.

Refrigerator control is set too cold.

Meat should be stored at a temperature
just below the freezing point of water
(32°F, 0°C) for maximum fresh storage
time.

Chilled Air Control is set too cold.

Freezer control is set too warm.

Doors are opened too frequently or too
long.

Door is open slightly.

Large amounts of warm or hot food may
have been stored recently.

Refrigerator has recently been
disconnected for a period of time.

Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door
seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in
order to maintain desired temperatures.

This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and
off to keep temperature constant.

Set the freezer control to a warmer
setting until the freezer temperature is
satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize. Then, if the
refrigerator  temperature is not right, set
the refrigerator control to a colder
setting.

Set the refrigerator control to a warmer
setting. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize.

See above solution.

It is normal for ice crystals to form due to
the moisture content of meat.

Slide knob toward the COLD setting.

Set the freezer control to a colder setting
until the freezer temperature is
satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize. Then, if the
refrigerator temperature is not right, set
the refrigerator control to a warmer
setting.

Warm air enters the refrigerator/freezer
whenever the door is opened. Open the
door less often.
