noise when the refrigerator is running?
l New features on Your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the fans,. timer clicks for the defrosting cycle. or defrost water draining in the defrost pan.
If your ice maker will not opemte:

l If the door has been opened a lot, or If a large amount of food has been put in, the motor will run longer to cool down the interior.
Remember: Motor running time depends on different
things; number of door openings, amount of food
stored; temperature of the room, setting of the controls.
Your new refrigerator may be larger than Your old one so it has more space to be cooled. It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compartment.
All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than Your old one.
