Sounds You May Hear; Energy Saving Tips; Cleaning Your Refrigerator - Whirlpool ED25PWXTW00 Use & Care Manual

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 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.
Possible Sounds: Probable Causes:
• Slight Hum, Soft Hiss: You may hear the refrigerator's fan motor and moving air.
• Clicking or Snapping The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running.
Sounds: It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click
when the defrost cycle starts and stops.
• 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.
• Ice Maker Sounds: When the ice maker is running you may hear buzzing (from the water valve),
- trickling water trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.
- thud (clatter of ice)
• 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.
=Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the
cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
• Clean the condenser coil regularly.
• 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 foods organized so
you won't have to search for what you want. Close
door as soon as food is removed.
"Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don't over
crowd it so air movement is blocked.
• 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.
• Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES
LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigera-
tor exterior.
• Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace,
radiator or in direct sunlight.
