Default Fridge Constantly Runs
Model Number: FSK190EN   Brand: Kelvinator   Age: More than 10 years   
Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com
My fridge/freezer is constantly running -- not always - but a lot. It will come on, shut off and then turn right back on again. I have vacuumed the back and underneath the fridge but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

I don't have a thermometer. I will try to get one and see what it reads. Both fridge and freezer are set at "5". Thank you.

The temp is about 8 degrees. The thermometer has been in there for about 2 hours.

That temperature is a bit marginal. Remove freezer back panel and check frost pattern. Is it heavily coated with frost over the entire evaporator area. Post results.

I checked it this morning and it showed that it was about 2 below... I'm not at home right now -- but are you talking about the back of the freezer in the back of the appliance or does the back wall of freezer come off from the inside? Thanks.
