Sounds you may hear.. .
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't.
Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about
them. Don't be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like
the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.
The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new
to you, and what may be making them.

few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the
defrost water pan.

Running Sounds: Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer
than older desians. It may even seem to run most of the time.
Energy saving tips...
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity
l
Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabi-
net to be sure of a good seal.
l
Clean the condenser coil regularly
l
Open the door as few times as possible. Think about
what you need before you open the door. Get
everything out at one time. Keep foods organized
so you won't have to search for what you want.
Close door as soon as food is removed.
l
Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don't over-
crowd it so air movement is blocked.

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and
freezer to temperatures colder than they need to
be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are
as cold as your family likes them, that's cold enough.
Q Keep the Power Saving Control on OFF unless
moisture forms on the refrigerator exterior
l
Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radi-
ator, or in direct sunlight.
