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 chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new

to you, and what may be making them.

Possible Sounds:

• Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

• Clicking or Snapping

Sounds:

• Water Sounds:

• Ice Maker Sounds:

-trickling water
- thud (clatter of ice)

• Running Sounds:

Probable Causes:

You may hear the refrigerator's 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,
• Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabi­

net to be sure of a good seal.

• Clean the condenser coil regularly.
• 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 organized
so you won't have to search for what you want.
Close door as soon as food is removed,

• Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don't over­

crowd it so air movement is blocked

dt 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.
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.
