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,
wails 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:
l SllgM Hum, Soft Hiss: You may hear the refrigemtor’s fan motor and moving air.
The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running.

click when the defrost cvcie starts and stops.

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.

water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Energy saving tips...
You can help your reftigerator use less electricity.
l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the
cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
l Clean the condenser coil regularly.
l 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 orga-
nized so you won’t have to search for what you
want. Close door as soon as food is removed.
l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t
over crowd it so air movement is blocked.
Cleaning your refrigerator
Both the refrigemtor and freezer sections defrost
automatically. But both should be cleaned about
once a month to help prevent odors from building
up. Of course, spills should be wiped up right away.
To clean your refrigerator turn the Refrigerator
Control to OFF, unplug it, take out ail removable
parts and clean it according to the following
directions.
0 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.
l Keep the Power Saver Control on CONSUMES
LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigemtor
exterior.
l Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace,
mdiator or in direct sunlight.
