UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS • The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost YOU MAY HEAR cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off. 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.
COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH Check if... Then... The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model. • Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time. The room temperature is hotter than normal. • The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.
Check if... Then... The icemaker was recently installed. • Discard first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or off-flavored ice. The ice has been stored for too long. • Throw away old ice and make new supply. The food has not been wrapped tightly in either compartment. • Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly. The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur. • A filter may need to be installed (or replaced) to eliminate taste and odor problems.
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP Check if... Then... The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. • Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. The doors are opened often. • When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into the refrigerator.
