Improvements in refrigeration design may mean your new refrigerator produces sounds that
are different to other models. These improvements have created a refrigerator that is better at
preserving food, more energy efficient, and quieter overall. Because new units are quieter, sounds
may be detected that were masked by higher sound levels in older units. 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
operational sounds that may be noticed in your new refrigerator.
