TRO U B L E S H O O T I N G PROBLEM The motor seems to run too much The lights do not work POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS High efficiency compressor and fans Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more energy efficient speeds. The room or outdoor temperature is hot. 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." A large amount of warm food has been recently added. Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the air cools to the desired temperature. The door(s) are opened too frequently Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. or for too long. Open the door less often.
