Care and Maintenance Occurrence Normal Operations Refrigerator Refrigerator compressor does not run. Refrigerator runs too much or too long Troubleshooting Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. Possible Cause Solution Refrigerator control is off. Set refrigerator control. Refrigerator is in defrost cycle. Plug at wall outlet is disconnected. This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically. Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. Power outage. Check house lights. Call local electric company. Refrigerator is larger than the previous one you owned. Room or outside weather is hot. Refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Automatic icemaker is operating. Large amounts of warm or hot food may have been stored recently. Doors are opened too frequently or too long. Refrigerator or freezer door may be slightly open. Refrigerator control is set too cold. Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. This is normal. Larger, more efficient units run longer. It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions. It takes a few hours for the refrigerator refrigerator to come down to room temperature completely. Operation of the ice maker causes the refrigerator to run slightly longer. Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the desired temperature is reached. Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open the door less often. Make sure the refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking the door. See problem section OPENING/CLOSING of doors, page 11. Adjust the refrigerator control to a warmer setting until the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Clean or change gasket.
