Your new convertible refrigerator/freezer may make sounds that
Door Closing your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you,
you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer has two front adjustable
rollers - one on the right and one on the left. If your convertible
refrigerator/freezer seems unsteady or you want the doors to
close easier, adjust the convertible refrigerator/freezer's tilt using
the instructions below:
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Move the convertible refrigerator/freezer into its final position.
3. Remove the base grille (see Base Grille graphic). The two
leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which
are at the base of the convertible refrigerator/freezer on either
side.
4.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the
leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the convertible
refrigerator/freezer or turn the leveling screw to the left to
lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling
screws to adjust the tilt of the convertible refrigerator/freezer.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
convertible refrigerator/freezer takes some weight off the
leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the
screws.
normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
• Your convertible refrigerator/freezer is designed to run more
efficiently to keep your food items at the desired
temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high
efficiency compressor and fans may cause your convertible
refrigerator/freezer to run longer than your old one. You may
also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will sound louder than
regular refrigerators. This is due to the high fan speed. This
speed is necessary to keep the convertible refrigerator/
freezer operating properly in the harsher environments of
most garages.
• You may hear a hissing noise after you close the lower
compartment door. This is due to the colder temperature of
the lower compartment and the stronger seal on the door.
• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the upper and lower compartments. The fan speed may
increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, or
items stored on top of the convertible refrigerator/freezer.
• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your convertible refrigerator/freezer.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.
5. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they
close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the convertible
refrigerator/freezer slightly more to the rear by turning both
leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.
6. Replace the base grille.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 5/_6in. socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
