Common Solutions for Concerns
Refrigerator Operations (continued)
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Refrigerator runs too
much or too long.
• Room or outside weather is hot.
• Refrigerator has recently been
disconnected for a period of time.
• Automatic ice maker is operating.
• Doors are opened too frequently or too
long.
• Refrigerator/freezer door may be slightly
open.
• Freezer control is set too cold (control
found on side of left hand door).
• Fresh food/freezer gasket is dirty, worn,
cracked, or poorly fitted.
• This model is provided with a high-
efficiency, variable-speed compressor.
• It’s normal for the refrigerator to work longer
under these conditions.
• It takes 8-12 hours for the refrigerator to cool
down completely.
• Ice maker operation causes refrigerator to run
slightly more.
• Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run
more. Open doors less often.
• Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep food and
containers from blocking door. See Problem
section, Opening/ Closing of Doors/ Drawers.
• Set freezer control to warmer setting until
refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal
will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to
maintain desired temperatures.
• It is normal for the compressor to run for long
periods of time.
Digital temperature
displays are flashing.
• Electronic control system has detected a
performance problem.
• Call your Electrolux service representative, who
can interpret any messages or number codes
