1. Refrigerator runs too often
This is a common problem with many different causes: poor seals around the door allowing cold air to escape, the interior light staying on when door is closed, or as a result of dirty condenser coils. However, it could also be normal operation, as modern refrigerators now operate approximately 75% of the time. If you are unsure, please call our service line to consult a technician.
2. Refrigerator odour
The majority of modern refrigerators have plastic liners which retain odors quite easily. To remove the offensive odour, first shut the refrigerator off, and remove any potentially moldy food items. Ensure that food is stored in proper freezer bags etc. Wash the interior of the refrigerator with warm soapy water with a lemon scent, or vanilla. After replacing food, if odour still remains, place a box of charcoal in the freezer and refrigerator to absorb the smell. Change it frequently until the odor is gone. Coffee grounds also work well to absorb smell (in open container or bag). These also must be replaced frequently until odour is gone. If after trying both of these the odour continues to linger, we recommend a product called Ozium Air Sanitizer (part number 500M12 - call our parts line to order) or Kleen Air.
