for the motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back
down. Refer to the "Food Storage Guide" section.
Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to
conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the
refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and
close the door as soon as the food is removed.
Refer to the "Setting temperature controls" section.
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see
