The motor seems to run too
much
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
or for too long.
Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open
the door less often.
The refrigerator door or freezer drawer
is ajar.
Make sure the refrigerator is level. See “Refrigerator Leveling,
Door Closing and Alignment.” Keep food and containers from
blocking the door.
The refrigerator control is set too cold.
Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the
refrigerator temperature is as desired.
The door or drawer gasket is dirty,
worn, or cracked.
Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause
the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
The lights do not work
Your refrigerator is equipped with LED
lighting which does not need to be
replaced.
If there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not
illuminate when a door or drawer is opened, call for service or
assistance.
The dispenser light is set to OFF.
On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when a
dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to
stay on continuously, see “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

10 minutes.
Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume

(on some models)
Shelf hooks are not fully engaged in
shelf supports.
Check that the rear shelf hooks are completely seated into the
slots in the shelf supports.
Shelf supports, fastened to the back
wall of the refrigerator cabinet, are
loose
Check all shelf support screws to ensure they are fully
tightend. Tighten all loose screws.
Doors have been open longer than
10 minutes.
Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume
lighted task.
