■Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator.

4.Check with a level.

5.Open and close the door to check to make sure that it closes as easily as you like.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■You may hear a cracking noise from ice melting during defrosting.

■Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

■You may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

■You may hear water running into the defrost pan during the defrost cycle.

■You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or stops running.
