I followed the Mfg instructions and keep it in a room that is 70 degrees, no direct sunlight and there is at least 3" of air space on all sides. I noticed the compressor was running a lot, so I wired a 120v clock in parallel with the compressor circuit. After 24 hours of operation, the compressor was running 58% of the time. What kind of performance should I expect, and what might be wrong?
