Hi, I just got a new refrigerator today, it was delivered and since it has been plugged in it hasn't shut off, it just keeps running. It has been about 4 hours now, does it need to get to a certain temperature before it stops or is there something wrong?

Possibly a faulty main board or bad installation.
I would contact the supplier for help. In the worst case, ask for a replacement or refund.

Hi. This seems like normal operating procedure. Once the fridge has reached the desired temperature, the compressor will shut down. It will not keep running.

45 minutes

Hi David, thank you for your inquiry. I understand that your Frigidaire Refrigerator is cycling on and off more than you expected. Todays newer refrigerator's have to meet Dept of Energy (DOE) specifications for energy savings. Typically the fan and compressor runs to get the fresh food temp down to 34*, the compressor shuts off and the fan runs for thirty more minutes and shuts down. The fan will repeatedly cycle on and off to keep the temp down as close to 34*. Once the temp in the fresh food hits 40* for more than two minutes the compressor cycles back on again. This will cause the temps in the fresh food to dwell between 35-40 and in the freezer section between 8-15. Hope this helps! -JK

plug it in anytime,as long as it is standing upright.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about the reasons why the sides and/or seals couldbe getting hot on your refrigerator.

CHECK YOUR DOOR SWICHES AND WIRES. IF THEY REMOVED THE DOORS THE WIRES TO THE SWICHES ARE UNPLUGGED.
