especiallywhen the doors are opened frequently. This
means that the Frost Guard'" feature isworking to prevent
freezer burn and improve food preservation.
, You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKSand CHIRPS
, You may hear cracking or popping sounds when
the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens us
the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
, Electronic dumpers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
