temperature settings.
Appliance noise
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, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
Concern
Motor noise (compressor).
A clicking noise heard just before
the compressor starts.
Occasional gurgling, similar
to water boiling.
Airflow noise.
Rattling and other noises.

What to do
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the refrigerator.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 9.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Adjust temperature to a colder setting.
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the freezer.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 9.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a high water content should not
be placed near the cooling vents.
Refer to function guide in Controlling Your Refrigerator.
Ensure that user interface is in "awake" mode before trying to adjust temperature settings.
What to do
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a variable speed compressor and fan that at
start up and on warm days runs at a high speed to provide additional cooling.
When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed Note that the
compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching action of the
temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.
Nothing. As each refrigeration cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant
flowing in your refrigerator system.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to circulate air. Fan speed and
noise may increase during periods of heavy usage or hot weather.
Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions on page 9.
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or placed on top of the
appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that they are vibrating
(such as bottles).
