Why is my Kenmore 111.7304 Refrigerator cooling system running too much?
- FfletcherteresaAug 1, 2025
Several factors can cause the cooling system to run excessively. Modern refrigerators are more efficient but require more operating time. It can take up to 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely after being plugged in or after power is restored. Opening the door frequently, adding a large amount of food, or placing hot food inside can also cause this. Ensure doors are closed completely; if not, refer to the Doors section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110°F. Clean the condenser cover and vents with a vacuum cleaner attachment, without removing the panel covering the condenser coil area.
