  If your IKEA Refrigerator's compressor is constantly running, there could be several reasons. First, the temperature might be set incorrectly, so check the "Operation" chapter for guidance. It could also be due to inserting too many food products at once; wait a few hours and check the temperature again. High room temperature can also cause this issue; refer to the climate class chart on the rating plate. Ensure that food products are cooled to room temperature before storing them, and verify that the refrigerator door is closing correctly.

  If the temperature in your IKEA Refrigerator is too low or too high, begin by adjusting the temperature setting to a higher or lower level as needed. Ensure the door is closing correctly. Allow warm food to cool to room temperature before placing it inside. Avoid putting too many items in at once. If the frost is thicker than 0.16"-0.20", defrost the appliance. Limit how often you open the door, and ensure proper cold air circulation inside the appliance.
