Possible Causes
High ambient temperature, Poor door seal, Dirty condenser coil, Thermistor slightly out of calibration
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or adjusting components.
- Step 1 – Check ambient conditions: If the room is very warm (above 80°F/27°C), longer run times are normal. Improve room cooling if possible.
- Step 2 – Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil to improve efficiency.
- Step 3 – Inspect gasket: Ensure the door gasket seals tightly all around. Replace if leaking.
- Step 4 – Verify temperature: Use an accurate thermometer to confirm the actual cabinet temperature. If it is stable and within range, extended run time may be normal for load and ambient conditions.
