		The following	chart	describes	the kinds of sounds that might	be new
’	,b	to you. and what	may	be making	them

Poulble Sounds:

l Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

l Clicking or Snapping Sounds:

l Water Sounds:

l Ice Maker Sounds: -trickling water -thud [clatter of ice1

l Running Sounds:

Probable Causes:

Your refrigerator has a fan; you may hear the fan motor and moving air

The defrost timer makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts.

Energy saving tips.. .

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cab- inet to be sure of a go& seal.

l Clean the condenser coil regularly.

l Open the door as few times as possible. Think about what you need before you open the door. Get everything out at one time. Keep foods orga- nized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

lIt is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be. If ice cream IS firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s cold enough.

l Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator exterior.

l Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator, or in direct sunlight.
