Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coils, Warm room or poor ventilation, Faulty temperature sensor or thermostat, Door gasket leaks

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning coils or moving the appliance.

Steps to reduce run time:

  • 1. Check temperature settings: Ensure the fridge is not set to the coldest setting unnecessarily. Adjust to manufacturer-recommended levels.
  • 2. Improve ventilation: Pull the fridge away from the wall and ensure vents are not blocked. Provide at least 5 cm clearance.
  • 3. Clean condenser coils: Remove dust and lint from coils with a brush and vacuum.
  • 4. Inspect door seals: Look for gaps, tears, or warped gaskets. Replace if they do not seal all around.
  • 5. Check for frequent door openings: Minimize door openings and avoid leaving the door ajar.
  • 6. Sensor/thermostat fault: If the unit still runs continuously and temperatures are too cold or unstable, the temperature sensor or control board may be faulty and should be tested and replaced as needed.
