The door is opened often or a large amount of food
has just been added.
Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more
operating time. Even though this refrigerator may run more
than your older one it will still use less energy.
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal

80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more often.
Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator.
It is normal for the refrigerator 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.
