temperature more efficiently while using less energy,

High-efficiency compressor and fans
SOLUTIONS
Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more
energy efficient speeds.
It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under
these conditions. For optimum performance, place
the refrigerator in an indoor, temperature controlled
environment. See "Location Requirements."
Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the
air cools to the desired temperature.
Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more.
Open the door less often.
Make sure the refrigerator is level. See "Door Closing and
Door Alignment." Keep food and containers from blocking
the door.
Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the
refrigerator temperature is as desired.
Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will
cause the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain
desired temperatures.
If there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not
illuminate when a door or drawer is opened, call for service
or assistance.
On some models, the dispenser light will operate only
when a dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the
dispenser light to stay on continuously, see "Water and Ice
Dispensers."
Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume
lighted task.
Check that the rear shelf hooks are completely seated into
the slots in the shelf supports.
Check all shelf support screws to ensure they are fully
tightened. Tighten all loose screws.
Exit Cooling Off mode. See "Using the Control(s)."
Unplug the refrigerator, wait 5 seconds. Plug in the
refrigerator, and wait 30 seconds before opening any of the
refrigerator doors or touching the control panel.
SOLUTIONS
Due to this reduction in operating noise
you may notice unfamiliar noises that are
normal.
Larger, more efficient refrigerators run
longer at lower, more energy efficient
speeds.
