Sounds you may hear...

 

‘/

Your

may make

sounds

that

didn’t.

 

Because

the

sounds

are new to you, you might

be concerned

about

them.

 

Don’t be.

Most

normal.

walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

 

 

 

The

following

chart

describes

the

kinds of sounds that might be new to

P

=-

you, and what may be making them.

Possible Sounds:

lSlight Hum, Sotl Hiss:

l Cllcklng or Snapping Sounds:

Probable Causes:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

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

Water Sounds:

Ice Maker Sounds: -trickling water -thud (clatter of ice) Running Sounds:

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan.

When the ice maker is running you may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time.

Energy saving tips...

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity

l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabinet to be sure of a good 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.

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

It 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.

Keep the Power Saver Control on CONSUMES LESSENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator exterior.

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