can be as much as
30°F warmer than
room temperature.
• Modern appliances
have increased storage
capacity and more
stable temperatures.
They require a high
efficiency compressor.
• Appliance operates at
higher pressures during
the start of the ON cycle.
• Metal parts undergo
expansion and
contraction, as in hot
water pipes.
• Refrigerant (used to
cool appliance) is
circulating throughout
the system.
COMMON SOLUTION
• It's normal for the appliance to work harder
under these conditions.
• It takes 24 hours for the appliance to cool
down completely.
• Warm food will cause appliance to run more
until the desired temperature is reached.
• Warm air entering the appliance causes it to
run more. Open doors less often.
• See "DOOR PROBLEMS" in Before You
Call .
• Turn control knob to a warmer setting. Allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket (See "Care and
Cleaning Tips"). Worn, cracked or poorly

• Warm air enters the appliance every time the
door is opened. Open the door less often.
• See "DOOR PROBLEMS" in Before You Call.
• Wait until the appliance has had a chance to
reach its selected temperature.
• Appliance requires 24 hours to cool
down completely.
• This is normal while the compressor works to
transfer heat from inside the cabinet.

level is low, you might hear the compressor
running while it cools the interior.
• This is normal. Sound will level off or
disappear as appliance continues to run.
