  If your SIA Refrigerator's compressor runs for extended periods or the temperature doesn't reach the set point, several factors could be at play. First, if it's the initial operation, allow time for stabilization. Reduce stored food quantity and minimize door openings, especially in hot weather. Check and adjust the temperature controller. Ensure the refrigerator isn't in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Lastly, improve ventilation and clean the condenser.
