The reason may be inadequate ventilation
of the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation and wipe off the
condenser);

the door does not seal well (clean the
gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if
it is damaged);
−
the door was frequently opened or it was
left opened for too long;
−
the food stored in the refrigerator was
