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.
