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. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls,
and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than
they actually are. The following describes the kinds of
sounds and what may be making them.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to
permit air flow. Cool air enters through the refrigerator
section and moves up. The air then flows through the
vents. Do not block any of these vents with food
packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
prevented and temperature and moisture problems
may occur.

you put food into the refrigerator. The control is set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like. Move
the dial one number at a time and wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
