What should I do if the compressor motor seems to run too much?

Check if the doors are closed completely and push them firmly shut if needed. Ensure the refrigerator control is set correctly for surrounding conditions and wait 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely after plugging in. Clean the condenser coils to prevent air transfer problems. Modern refrigerators typically run about 40% to 80% of the time at normal room temperatures, which is normal.
