Adjust the Door Closing

Your refrigerator has 2 adjustable leveling legs in the front. If your
refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using these instructions.
1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. Lower the leveling legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off of
the floor.
3. Adjust the leveling legs to level the refrigerator:
Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
refrigerator.
Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the
refrigerator.
4. Check with a level.
5. Open and close the door to check to make sure that it closes
as easily as you like.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds
and what may be making them.
You may hear a cracking noise from ice melting during
defrosting.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored on top of the refrigerator.
You may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing
in your refrigerator.
You may hear water running into the defrost pan during the
defrost cycle.
You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or
stops running.
