t)atures and use newer technology.

may run faster and longer than your
old appliance and you may hear a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
Sometimes the appliance runs %r an
extended period, especially when the
doors are opened frequently.
You may hear a whooshing sound when
the doors close. This is due m pressure
equalizing within the appliance.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds
when the appliance is first plug\g_d in.
This happens as the appliance cools to
the correct temperature.
Expansion and contraction of cooling
coils during and after deflost can cause
a cracking or popping sound.

high speeds. This hai)pens when the
appliance is first plugged in, when the
