  If your IKEA Refrigerator's compressor is constantly running, several factors could be at play. Check if the temperature setting is correct. Avoid inserting too many food products at once and ensure they've cooled to room temperature before storing. Also, verify that the room temperature aligns with the climate class chart on the rating plate and that the door is properly closed.

  Several factors can cause temperature issues in your IKEA Refrigerator. Ensure the temperature is correctly set. If the door isn't closing properly, address that. Allow warm food to cool before refrigerating. If you've just added a lot of food, give the refrigerator some time to adjust. Defrost the appliance if the frost is thicker than 4-5 mm. Limit how often you open the door and ensure proper cold air circulation inside.
