A compressor that never stops wastes electricity and wears faster. In summer it runs longer, which is normal to a point.
Possible causes
- Poor condenser ventilation or a hot room
- Temperature set too low
- Door seal
- Faulty temperature sensor
- Reduced cooling efficiency
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Dust the rear condenser
- Keep the fridge away from the oven and direct sun
- Set a middle temperature

When do you need a technician?
If it runs non-stop with weak cooling, the refrigeration system needs diagnosis.
