Sounds you may hear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

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

Slight hum, soft hiss:

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

Clicking or snapping sounds:

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:

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

Ice maker sounds: l trickling water

l thud (clatter of ice)

Because your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Running sounds:

Your refrigerator h,as 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 trps

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

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

l Clean the condenser coils regularly.

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

lGo 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 Exterior Moisture Control on the OFF setting unless moisture forms on refrigerator exterior.

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