Ensure it is properly plugged in. * The temperature control may not be set correctly. Try setting the temperature lower. * The refrigerator could be near a heat source or direct sunlight. Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat. * There might not be enough clearance between the refrigerator and nearby walls or cabinets.
