Potential Cause

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
in fresh food section).
• Fresh food/freezer gasket is dirty, worn,
cracked, or poorly fitted.
• This model is provided with a high-efficiency,
variable-speed compressor.
• Electronic control system has detected a
performance problem.
Potential Cause
• Freezer control is set too cold.
• Ice maker is on.

• Refrigerator control is set too cold.
• Meat Keeper temperature control is set too
cold.
Potential Cause
• Doors are opened too frequently or too long.
• Door is slightly open.
• Freezer control is set too warm.
Common Solution
• 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.
• Call your Electrolux service representative, who can
interpret any messages or number codes flashing on
the digital displays.
Common Solution
• Set freezer control to a warmer setting. Allow 24 hours
for temperature to stabilize.
• It is normal for the freezer compartment to over cool
while automatic ice maker is on.
• Set refrigerator control to a warmer setting. Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• See solution above.
• Adjust Meat Keeper temperature control to a warmer
setting. Meat should be stored at a temperature just
below the freezing point for maximum fresh storage
time. It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the
moisture content of meat.
Common Solution
• Warm air enters the refrigerator whenever the door is
opened. Open the door less often.
• See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/
Drawers.
• Set freezer control to a colder setting. Allow 24 hours
for temperature to stabilize.
