-//

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

P

the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following

chart

describes

the kinds of sounds that might

be new

,b

to you. and what

may

be making

them

 

Poulble Sounds:

l Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

l Clicking or Snapping Sounds:

l Water Sounds:

l Ice Maker Sounds: -trickling water -thud [clatter of ice1

l Running Sounds:

Probable Causes:

Your refrigerator has a fan; you may hear the fan motor and moving air

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

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.

If 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.

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 cab- inet to be sure of a go& 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.

l Go 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 Power Saving Control on CONSUMES LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator exterior.

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