without
tools of any krnd.

cable plugged
Into a live socket
wrth the proper voltage?
l
Have you checked
your hrome's fuses?
l
Is the thermostat
In the right posrtron?
If there are noises or vibrations:
Most of the noises are normal.
Hard surfaces
like the floor, walls, and cabinets
can make the
noises seem louder.
The followrnq
describes the
most common
types of noises and what
may be
making
them:
l
Slight hum
You may be hearing
the refrrgerator's
fan
motor
and moving
air.
. Clicking noises
The thermostat
clicks when the refrigerator
stops running.
It also makes a sound when
the refrigerator
starts. The defrost
timer clicks
when the defrost
cycle starts and stops.
l
Water noises
When the refrigerator
stops runnrng,
you may
hear a gurglrng
noise in the piping for a few
minutes.
You may also hear the defrost
water
running
into the defrost
water
pan.
l
Ice maker noises
Since your appliance
has an ice maker, you
may hear buzzrng (from the water
valve),
tricklrng
water,
and the clatter of the Ice
falling
Into the bin.
If the light does not work:
l
Have you checked
your home's

If there is water in the defrost
pan:

in hot, damp weather.
The pan
can even be half full. Make sure the refrrg-
erator is level so that the water does not
overflow.
In case of burned out bulbs:

pull the plug out of the socket.
