On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor naturally
runs longer.
Benton Harbor, Ml 49022
l
If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large amount
of food has been put in, the motor will run longer to
cool down the interior.
Remember: Motor running time depends on different
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 compartment.
All this means better refrigeration and may require
more running time than your old one.
