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.

Sllght hum, soft hiss:

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

Cllcklng or snapplng sounds:

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

Water sounds:

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

Ice maker sounds: l trlckllng 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 datter of ice dumped into the bin.

lThe first few loads of ice from a new ice maker may have an off-taste. Dump ice and make new supply.

Runnlng sounds:

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

Energy savlng tlps

You can help your refrigerator use less electricify.

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

l Clean the condenser coils 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 food organized so you wont 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.

llt is a waste of electriciiy 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 in the OFF position unless moisture forms on refrigerator exteriir.

l Make sure your

refrigerator is not next

to a heat

source such as

a range, water heater,

furnace,

radiator or in direct sunlight.
