●It takes 8-12 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely.

●Ice maker operation causes refrigerator to run slightly more.

●Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open doors less often.

●Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking door. See 

Concern section, Opening/Closing of Doors/ Drawers.

●Set freezer control to warmer setting until refrigerator temperature is satisfacto-

ry. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.

●Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer 

in order to maintain desired temperatures.

●It is normal for the compressor to run for long periods of time, instead of starting 

and stopping frequently.

Digital temperature dis-
