sounds with explanations.

running longer than expected
Pulsating/Whirring
32
POSSIBLE CAUSES
The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates
temperature more efficiently while using less energy, and
operates quietly. Due to this reduction in operating noise, you
may notice unfamiliar noises that are normal.
High-efficiency compressor and fans
Fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance during
normal compressor operation
SOLUTIONS
Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more energy
efficient speeds.
It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions.
For optimum performance, place the refrigerator in an indoor,
temperature controlled environment. See "Location Requirements."
Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the air cools to
the desired temperature.
Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open the door
less often.
Make sure the refrigerator is level. See "Refrigerator Leveling, Door
Closing and Alignment." Keep food and containers from blocking the
door.
Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the refrigerator
temperature is as desired.
Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause the
refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures.
If there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not illuminate when
a door or drawer is opened, call for service or assistance.
On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when a dispenser
paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on
continuously, see "Water and Ice Dispensers."
Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume lighted task.
Check that the rear shelf hooks are completely seated into the slots in
the shelf supports.
Check all shelf support screws to ensure they are fully tightend. Tighten
all loose screws.
Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume lighted task.
Exit Cooling Off mode. See "Using the Control(s)."
Unplug the refrigerator, wait 5 seconds. Plug in the refrigerator, and wait
30 seconds before opening any of the refrigerator doors or touching the
control panel.
SOLUTIONS
Larger, more efficient refrigerators run
longer at lower, more energy efficient
speeds.
This is normal.
