New refrigerators have more energy efficient compressors that run longer.
The unit has a variable speed compressor - it's designed to run 100% of the time (while using less energy) Except during the defrost cycle.
It is normal for it too run faster at times, such as after a defrost cycle.
Has the unit lost power recently?
It normally takes 8 –12 hours for the unit to cool down completely.
NOTE: It can take up to 24 hours to stabilize temperatures.
Is the room or outside weather hot?
The unit may work harder if it is located in an area where there are high temperatures.
Has the door or drawer been left open for a long period of time?
This allows warm air to leak into the unit and causes the compressor to run faster.
Make sure the door is closed completely and avoid leaving it open for an extended amount of time.
Which settings are being used?
Having the temperature set to low could cause compressor to run faster.
The factory suggested temperature settings for the refrigerator is 37°F and the freezer is 0°F. Acceptable operating temperatures for the refrigerator is 33°F (0.56°C) to 47°F (8.33°C) and the freezer is -6 °F (-21°C) to 6°F (-14°C).
