• Motor running time depends on different things:
number of door openings, amount of food
stored, temperature of the room, setting of the
temperature controls.
If the appliance temperature is too high:
• Are the appliance controls correctly set?
• Has a large amount of food been added to the
appliance?
• Check that the doors are not opened too often.
• Check that the doors close properly.
• Make sure that air flow vents inside the
compartment are not blocked, as this prevents
the circulation of cold air.
If there is moisture build-up:
• Make sure that air flow vents inside the
compartment are not blocked, as this prevents
the circulation of air.
• Make sure that the food is properly packaged.
Dry any dampness on food containers before
placing them in the appliance.
• Check that the doors are not opened too often.
When the door is opened, humidity from the
room air enters the appliance. The more often
the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up,
especially when the room itself is very humid.
• If the room is very humid, it is normal for
moisture to build up inside the refrigerator.
If the doors do not open and close properly:
• Check that food packages are not blocking the
door.
• Check that the internal parts or automatic ice
maker are not out of position.
• Check that the door seals are not dirty or sticky.
•
Ensure the appliance is level.
