breaker or burned out fuse. ——

@If refrigerator vibrates, more than likely it is not resting solidly on the floor and front roller screws or leveling legs need adjusting or floor is weak or uneven. Refer to INSTALLATION on page 2.

*If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving them. Slight vibration is normal. @Defrost water pan rattling, needs to be positioned properiy.

@The high speed compressor motor required to maintain near zero temperatures in the large freezer compartment may produce higher sound levels than your old refrigerator.

~Normal fan air flow—one fan blows cold air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments-another fan cools the compressor motor. @These NO”RMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:

QDefrost timer switch clicks at defrost.

~Defrost water dripping into drain pan. o Temperature control clicks ON or OFF

~Refrigerant boiling or gurgling.

@Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction during defrost and refrigeration foi60wing defrost.

~ With automatic icemaker, the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and

water running in pipes as icemaker refills.	—.—.—
