My refrigerator was cycling often, too often. Like every 30 minutes. The "Internet" told me it should cycle twice a day. My fridge was out, way out, of compliance. A new one is a grand. Nope, not going there, as it still does keep things cool. New thermostat? Maybe. I bought some special brushes to remove the dust off the cooling fins. No Help there.
Finally, I had a flash. I got out some rubber protectant (think ArmorAll that we use to keep our tires new looking and from cracking) and wiped the door's rubber seals. There is now some vacuum in the fridge that requires a bit more force to open and most importantly the fridge is quiet. Took me months to figure this out. Whether or not you are experiencing the same problem, you might want to do some maintenance on your fridge door's rubber. What a difference, and so easy, and so inexpensive.
