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

Probable Causes:

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

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.

l Clean the condenser coil regularly.

lOpen 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 organized so you won’t have to search for what you want,

Close door as soon as food is removed.

It is CI 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 Saving Control on OFF unless moisture forms on the refrigerator exterior

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