--WHOOSH...

may mn Ihster
and hmger than yore" old refl'igerator and you may
hear a high-i)itched hmn or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
• Sometimes the refligeramr
runs for an extended
period,
especially when the doo_s are opened ti'equently. This
means that the Frost Guard_ feature is working to
prevent ti'eezer bm'n and improve tood preservation.
• 54m may hear a whooshing sotmd when the (loo_ close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the reii_igerato_:
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
• You may hear cracking or poi)ping sotmds when the
reli'igerator is first i)lugged in. This hal)pens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
• Electronic dampers click open and closed to proxide
optimal cooling and energy savings,
• The compressor may cause a clicking or chiq_ing
sotmd when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes),
• The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays actixate to control refrigerator
C()II/l )ollelltS.

maintain the correct temperatures.
• If either door is open fl>r over 3 minutes, you may
hear the rims come on in order to cool the light
bulbs.
• Tile rims change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
• You may hear the rims running alter selecting one of
the CustomCool_%ettings.
