If the motor seems to run too much:
l
Is the condenser, behind the refrigerator, free of dust
and lint?
l
On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor natu-
rally runs longer.
l
If the door has been opened a lot, the motor will run
longer to cool down the interior
Remember:
Motor running time depends on dif-
ferent things: number of door openings, amount of
food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the
controls.
And. your new refrigerator may be larger than your
old one so it has more space to be cooled. It also has
a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compart-
ment. All thts means better refrigeration and may re-
qurre more running time than your old one.
