This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting
refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs
periodically.
Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.
Call local electric company.
This is normal. Larger, more efficient units
run longer in these conditions.
It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer
under these conditions.
It takes some hours for the refrigerator to cool
down completely.
Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run
longer until the desired temperature is
reached.
Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it
to run longer. Open the door less often.
Make sure the refrigerator is level.
Keep food and containers from blocking door.
See problem section.
OPENING/CLOSING of doors.
Set the refrigerator control to a warmer
setting until the refrigerator temperature is
satisfactory.
Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door
seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in
order to maintain desired temperatures.
This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and off to
keep the temperature constant.
