• Modern refrigerators have
increased storage capacity
and more stable temperatures.
They require a high efficiency
compressor.
• Refrigerator operates at higher
pressures during the start of the
ON cycle.
• Metal parts undergo expansion
and contraction, as in hot water
pipes.
• Refrigerant (used to cool
refrigerator) is circulating
throughout the system.

• Door may not be sealing
properly.
• Door is kept open too long, or is
opened too frequently.
• Door may not be sealing
properly, causing the cold air
from inside the refrigerator
to meet warm moist air from
