Cooling system runs
too much.
Appliance is replacing an older model.
• Modern appliance require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient
technology.
Appliance was recently plugged in or power restored.
• The appliance will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.
• Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to
run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to
get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy
to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage
Guide.)
Doors are not closed completely.
• Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, the "Doors will not close
correctly or pop open" section in Troubleshooting.
Appliance is installed in a hot location.
• The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70
°F or 21 °C) expect your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated
above 110 °F (43 °C).
Condenser / back cover is clogged.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.
Interior moisture
buildup.
Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.
• When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the
compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To
lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
Doors are not closed correctly.
• See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section.
Weather is humid.
• Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are
opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the
home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.
Food is not packaged correctly.
• Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture
accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed
packaging to prevent condensation and frost.
Food is freezing in
the refrigerator
compartment.
Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.
• Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.
Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.
• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel section for more information.
Refrigerator is installed in a cold location.
• When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41 °F (5 °C), food can freeze in the
refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below
55 °F (13 °C).
Refrigerator section
is too cold.
Incorrect temperature control settings.
• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel for more information.
