It is normal for the freezer fan not to
operate during the automatic defrost
cycle, or for a short time after the
appliance is switched on.
Compressor motor seems to run
too long
At normal room temperatures, expect
your motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions,
expect it to run more often.
Compressor motor seems to run too
long . These appliances use a variable
speed compressor, which by design can
run for long periods of time, this is
normal
The exterior of the appliance is warm or
hot to touch
This is normal because the appliance
transfers heat from the inside out
through the outer panels and the divider
between the doors.
User interface will not respond
To ensure settings are not accidentally
changed the user interface will go into
sleep mode when not in use. Press
any button to wake user interface
WHAT TO DO
Ensure that the crisper is not over packed.
Adjust crisper humidity slides.
If crisper bin interferes with the door bins, remove door bins before removing
crisper.

The variable speed compressor and fan that at start up and on warm days,
runs at high speeds to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is
required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed, but still may not

It is possible that the only time the compressor and fan will stop is when the
refrigerator is defrosting which is approximately once per day.
Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the
section "Installing your new appliance".
The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may even
feel hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.
