Improvements
in refrigeration
design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator
that are different
or were not
present in an older model. These improvements
were made to create a refrigerator
that is better at preserving
food,
is more energy efficient and is quieter overall. Because new refrigerators
run quieter, sounds may be detected that
were present in older refrigerators,
but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal.
Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator,
such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry
may make these
sounds seem even louder. The following
are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
