You have to be patient. It will not reach the desired temperatures in a matter of a few minutes. Let it run for 35 to 40 min. & take a temp reading & adjust from there. The compressor should typically cycle somewhere around 5 to 10 min. on, 10 to 20 min. off, depending on conditions.
If the compressor seems to run too long, check to see if the door gasket is sealing properly - is cold air leaking out? One way to check if the gasket is sealing is to take a dollar bill & insert it between the gasket & the cabinet with the door closed at various points around the door. If you feel tension as you pull out the dollar it is sealing properly. If it slides right out, you have a problem with the gasket.
