- If your refrigerator has been disconnected for a long period of time then wait for 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely.
- If the temperature outside is hot, the refrigerator tends to run for longer to maintain the desired temperature.
- If your refrigerator is installed in the path of a direct breeze then consider shifting its position away from the breeze.
- A larger volume refrigerator will need to run for longer to achieve proper cooling.
- Frequent opening and closing of doors can cause interruptions in consistent cooling due to influx of warm air.
- Storing large amounts of hot or warm foods causes the refrigerator to run more to achieve its desired temperature.
- Lack of sufficient clearance around and above the refrigerator can cause uneven cooling.
- Setting the temperature to cold or test-run mode can cause it to run for longer.
- The internal light might be on due to the door being left open.
- Formation of ice (over 6 mm) might disrupt cooling and you should defrost the refrigerator.
- Close the refrigerator door or freezer door completely.
- If the gasket is dirty, torn, worn out or badly fitted, clean or change the gasket to help the refrigerator run optimally.
