If the motor seems to run too much:
. Are the condenser
COIIS

l
On hot days, or If the room
IS
warm
the motor
iaturolly
runs longer
l
If *he door has been opened
a lot. or if a large
amount
of food has been put in, the motor
will
run
onger to cool down the Inter/or
Remember:
Mator running time depends
on dlf-
fereqt things
number
of door openings,
amount
of
food stored
temperature
of the room, setting of ihe
controls
And, your neu refrigerator
may be larger
than
your old one so It has more space
to be cooled
It
also has a regular
freezer instead
of a frozen food
compartment
All this means better refrigeration
and
n;ay require more running ttme than your old one
