Operating sounds
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are
different to other modeB. These improvements created a refrigerator that is better at preserving
food, more energy efficient, and quieter overall. Because new units are quieter, sounds may be
detected that were masked by higher sound levels in older units. Many of these sounds are
normal Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and
cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal
sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
