OVERTIME RUN ,
Your • mechanical refrigerator
needs a rest too, and should not
run more than eight hours out of
24, Miss Jo Oarland, county home
demonstration agent, warns. If the
motor runs more than one third of
the time, the temperature may be
set too low, or the refrigerator door
may not close tightly so that warm
air may be leaking Into the cabinet.
Miss Oarland says 40 degrees F.
la normal except for the freezing
cabinet. The only time the tempera-
ture needs to be set below this is
when desserts or other foods are
being frozen. After this quick-freez-
ing, the temperature control should
be returned to normal to keep the
motor from overworking
Test for leaks by closing the
door on a piece of ordinary wrap-
ping paper about the size and thick-
ness of a dollar bill, If the paper
pulls out easily, the gasket is not
tight enough to keep warm air from
passing into the refrigerator Tills
may be because the rubber in the
gasket has become brittle and hard
Or it may be the fault of the door
Try tightening hinges or latch to
make the door fit more snugly Test
again with paper. If the door still is
not tight, get a new gasket.
If the temperature is nonnal and
the door does not leak, but the re-
frigerator still runs too much, call
in a serviceman
