ENGLISH Care and Maintenance Problem Cooling System runs too much. Possible Causes Refrigerator is replacing an older model. Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored. Door opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added. Doors are not closed completely. Refrigerator is installed in a hot location. Condenser / back cover is clogged. Solutions Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology. The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.) Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting. The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110°F. Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area. 32
