Fridge Running Constantly in Calgary

Long running periods can be normal for some fridges. Constant running with rising temperatures, heavy frost or a new noise deserves a check.

What details help identify the problem?

Tell us whether cooling is still normal and whether the change followed warmer weather, heavy loading or a door problem.

What can I check safely?

Check visible door closure, settings and the clearances in the manual. Do not move the fridge or open panels to inspect running parts.

What we confirm before the repair

We compare the running pattern with the model's design and check airflow, temperature control and cooling when needed.

Has the constant running followed a loading or room-temperature change?

Mention a recent large food load, long door opening or an unusually warm room, along with whether temperatures remain normal. Report any visible door gap or ice buildup. The length of a run alone cannot identify a faulty component; the model and temperature behaviour are also needed.

How do I request a diagnosis?

Send the full model number, the symptom and any displayed code when you request a visit. The $49 service call is applied toward the repair; confirm the full quote before authorizing work. See the repair cost guide for questions to ask.
