Energy Tips

This refrigerator is designed to be one of the most
energy efficient refrigerators available. Reduce energy
use by observing the following.
• Operate in normal household temperatures of 55° to
110°F (13° to 43°C) away from heat sources and
direct sunlight.
• Set refrigerator, freezer, and Chiller Fresh
controls no colder than necessary.
• Keep freezer section full.
• Keep door gaskets clean and pliable. Replace gaskets
if worn.
• Keep condenser coils clean.

Normal Operating Sounds

This new refrigerator may be replacing a differently
designed, less efficient or smaller refrigerator. Today's
refrigerators have new features and are more energy
efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar.
These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar.
These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and
performing as designed.

1. Freezer control clicks when starting or stopping
compressor.
2. Freezer fan air rushes and whirs.
3. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)
refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling
water.
4. Defrost heater sizzles, hisses or pops.
5. Defrost timer sounds like an electric clock and
snaps in and out of defrost cycle.
6. Condenser fan air rushes and whirs.

buzzes when ice maker fills with water. This occurs
whether or not refrigerator is connected to water
supply. If refrigerator is not connected to water
supply, stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off

excellent insulating capabilities. However, foam
insulation is not as sound absorbent as
previously used fiberglass insulation.
