I just purchased a Kenmore refrigerator - the thing is huge!
Generally, I love it but the compressor runs practically 24/7. The
settings are on default temperature, I rarely open it. Does this
indicate a problem with the compressor? I am guessing yes because how
could something be Energy Star compliant when it runs throughout the
day?

So how do I quantify this for Sears - my retailer - so they will know
that they have to come back and replace it?

Thanks

The new units run a bit more but not 24x7, I would think, at least my
5yr old kenmore doesnt. If its running continuosly how could it cool
at 90+ interior temps and with heavy use, Tell sears its broke and
have them send out a tech , A 25$ Kill-a-Watt meter will tell you if
electric usage is inline with its stated rating, it matches ratings
for me on many apliances over days.

I was told that the new ones run more but use less juice.
How does one find out if that is true?
