. If the temperature outside or inside your home is warm, motor-running noises are normal,

. Decide which food items you need before opening the refrigerator or freezer section. Motor noise is also normal when large amounts of food are added to the refrigerator-freezer compartments.

Remember-your new refrigerator may be larger than your old refrigerator. It may have more space to cool, which requires a longer- running motor.
