High-Pitched
Sound Your refrigerator is designed
to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired
temperature. The high efficiency
compressor may cause your
new refrigerator to run longer
than your old one, but it is still
more energy efficient than
previous models. While the
refrigerator is running, it is
normal to hear a pulsating or
high-pitched sound. Normal Operation
