Reversing the door swing

You can change the hinges on your refrig­

Understanding the 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 describes the kinds of

sounds that might be new to you, and what
may be making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss

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

Clicking or snapping sounds

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

Water sounds

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.

Running sounds

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.
