Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator drawers may make sounds that your old
refrigerator drawers didn't. 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.
Your refrigerator drawers are 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 drawers to run longer than
your old ones. 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 drawers. The fan speed may increase as you
open the drawers or add warm food.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing through the sealed system tubing.
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 Off
cycle.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
airflow inside the drawers.
Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow
will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may
occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap
or cover foods tightly.

REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS USE

Using the Controls

The control panels for both double drawer models are located in
the upper drawer. To view and set the Upper and Lower control
panel, pull out the upper drawer.
IMPORTANT:
Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator drawers
before you put food into the drawers. If you add food before
the drawers have cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the controls to a lower (colder) setting in
one or both drawers will not cool them any faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the drawers, first
check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before
adjusting the controls.
The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The refrigerator control is set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like.
The freezer control is set correctly when ice cream is firm.
The actual temperature may differ from the display when a
drawer is open for an extended period of time.

will be in Cool Off mode. Cool On and Cool Off will be the
only options that display.
