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 sur-
faces like the floor, walls and cabinets can make
the sounds seem louder.
The following describes the kinds of sounds
that might be new to you, and what may be
making them.
Water sounds
When the refrigerator stops running, 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.
Running
sounds
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.
Energy saving tips
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.
l
Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the
cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
l
Clean the condenser coils 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 food orga-
nized 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
overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.
l
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.
l
Keep the Power Saving Control on SAVES
POWER unless moisture forms on refrigerator
exterior.
l
Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace,
radiator or in direct sunlight.
