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.
Probable
Causes:
You may hear the refrigerator's
fan motor and moving
air.
The defrost timer makes
a definite
click when the refrigerator
stops running.
It also makes a sound when the refrigerator
starts.
When the refrigerator
stops rilnning,
you may hear gurgling
in the
tubing
for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost
water running
into the defrost water pan.
If your refrigerator
has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing
(from
the water valve], trickling
water and the clatter
of ice dumped
into the bin
Your refrigerator
has a high-efficiency
compressor
and motor.
It will run longer than older designs.
It may even seem to run most
of the time

Cleaning your refrigerator
Both the refrigerator
and freezer sections defrost
automatically.
But both should
be cleaned
about
once a month to help prevent
odors from building
up. Of course,spills
should be wiped
up right away.
To clean
your refrigerator
turn the Refrigerator
Control
to OFF, unplug
it, take out all removable
parts
and
clean
it according
to the following
directions.
I! 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.
Keep the Power Saving
Control
on CONSUMES
LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator
exterior.
Make sure your refrigerator
is not next to a heat
source
such as a range,
water
heater, furnace,
radiator
or in direct
sunlight.
