Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to
its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The refrigerator may
run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added,
doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below
are listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
• Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild soap
and warm water.

To stabilize the refrigerator, remove the base grille and
lower the leveling feet until they touch the floor. See the
"Door Removal" instructions, either in the User Instructions or
the separate instruction sheet provided with your
refrigerator.
