Refrigerator Use - Kenmore 106.6093 Series Use & Care Manual

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers -one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want
the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below.
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have leveling legs
(Style 1) or leveling screws (Style 2). They are part of the front roller
assemblies which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either
side.
Turn the leveling legs or leveling screws to the right to raise that
side of the refrigerator or to the left to lower that side. It may
take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This
makes it easier to adjust the screws.
2. Open both doors again and be sure that they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same
amount.
Style 1
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may
increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
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.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Style 2
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the
illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section
and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer
section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the
air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
3. Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to
side. Readjust if necessary.

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,
such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem
louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may
be making them.
• If your refrigerator 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.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be restricted and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
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 avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
