P a g e
Defrost and clean the appliance, or move the package so the door closes
properly.
Is the room temperature hotter than normal?
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, it will run even more.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the appliance?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator or freezer. The motor
normally will run longer to cool the appliance back down.
Is the door closed completely?
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not
close completely” later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty (on some models)?
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the
condenser coils.
Is the door gasket sealed all the way around?
Contact a qualified technician.
NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that the
compressor on your new appliance will operate longer than your old one due to its
high‐efficiency motor.
The interior temperature is too warm:
Are the air vents blocked?
This prevents cold air movement. Move objects away from the air vents. See
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for air vent locations.
Is the door opened often?
Be aware that the refrigerator or freezer will warm when this occurs. In order to
keep the appliance cool, try to get everything you need out of it at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is
removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator or freezer. It can take
several hours to return to the normal temperature.
The door will not close completely or is difficult to open:
Are food packages blocking the door?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space.
Are the shelves and basket out of position (on some models)?
Put the shelves and basket back into their correct positions.
