Hi Fitch, Your fridge is cycling far too often. To rectify this problem, first locate the thermostat sensor tube where it is located on or near the cold-plate. (The end few inches are responsible for sensing the temperature). Carefully slip some plastic tubing over this end of the tube to insulate it. This "insulation" will slow the tube from sensing a drop in temperature and conversely slow it from rising when the compressor is off. The result will be longer run periods and related longer off periods. You may have to play around a bit with plastic thickness etc to get it right but a loaded fridge should maintain temperature status with no more than two cycles per hour. Your power consumtion will also improve slightly.
G'luck.

I would call them ... they would have to be the most helpful manufacturer that I have ever come across ..... amazingly if they say they will call you back ...THEY DO! Unheard of these days. I have an EvaKool that had some minor problems & they bent over backwards to help me!
