FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENT TOO WARMThe temperature in the fresh food compartment is too warm; this can be the reason your refrigerator runs continuously. It should be about 34-39 degrees Fahrenheit. If it’s not in that range, click on this link refrigerator not cooling to learn more about the fresh food compartment being too warm.AMBIENT TEMPERATURE TOO HOTAmbient temperature is too hot; this can be the reason your refrigerator runs continuously Refrigerators are designed to run 60% - 80% of the time at room temperature. So if the room the refrigerator is in doesn’t have air conditioning, it will run all the time if it gets over 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the room.FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENT TOO COLDThe fresh food compartment is too cold. If your refrigerator is refrigerating properly with proper airflow and it’s running continuously the food in the fresh food section will freeze. This is caused by the cold control being stuck on most of the time (“stuck on” meaning that the control contacts are stuck together causing the refrigerator to run continuously). If the cold control is stuck on the temperature in the fresh food compartment will be too cold; therefore, freezing the fresh food. If this is happening, your cold control is bad - replace it. If you have a newer refrigerator there won’t be a cold control, instead there will be a thermistors and a main control board. Main control boards go bad much more than thermistors. Because thermistors have been on refrigerators since about the year 2000 and I have only seen one or two bad, it’s safe to say that the control board needs replacing.
