• Motor running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the temperature controls. If the appliance temperature is too high: • Are the appliance controls correctly set? • Has a large amount of food been added to the appliance? • Check that the doors are not opened too often. • Check that the doors close properly. • Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not blocked, as this prevents the circulation of cold air.
