  James ScottAug 25, 2025
  Frequent compressor cycling in your Insignia Refrigerator can occur for several reasons. Check that the door is closed properly and clean the door seal if it's dirty. If the room temperature is hotter than normal or you've recently added a large amount of food, this is normal. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly. The refrigerator should be no closer than five inches from the adjacent walls. If the refrigerator has recently been disconnected, allow four hours to cool down completely.
