3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If
local water conditions
require periodic cleaning or a well is
your source of water supply, a second water strainer should
be installed in the 1/4in. (6.35 mm) water line. Obtain a water
strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either
tube connection.

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, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds
seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
•
If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a
buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
•
The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle
begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat
Control (or
Refrigerator Control depending on the model) will click when
cycling on and off.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
•
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperature. The high
efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run
longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or
high-pitched
sound.
•
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
•
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air
through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
•
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
•
Contraction
and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
•
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.

In order to ensure proper temperatures,
you need to permit air to
flow between the two sections. Gold air enters the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as
shown.
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and
the temperature controls will not function properly.
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent
odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
