UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one did
not make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal.
Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following list
describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
" The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle
begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator
control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling
on and off:.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high
efflciency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to
run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating
or high-pitched sound.

Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more
operational time. Even though this refrigerator may run more
than your older one, it will still use less energy.
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal
room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to
80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more than previous models.
Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator.
It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool
the refrigerator back down. Adding a large amount of food
warms the refrigerator. See the FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
section. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you
need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized
so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is
removed.
