Frost is forming in the
appliance.
The environment is too humid.
The unit uses an ‘auto-defrost’
system; under certain conditions,
manual defrosting may be
required. If frost builds up, try
running the refrigerator on a
warmer temperature setting,
minimizing the number of times you
open the door, or unplugging the
unit to allow the frost to melt.
The ambient temperature is too low.
The door is being opened too frequently.
The appliance makes
too much noise.
The rattling noise may come from the flow
of the refrigerant, which is normal. As
each cycle ends, you may hear gurgling
sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant in
the appliance.
This is a normal occurrence. The
high-efficiency compressor may
make a pulsating or high pitched
sound.
Contraction and expansion of the inside
walls may cause popping and cracking
noises.
Some popping or cracking noises
are normal. They are caused by
expansion and contraction of the
inside walls due to temperature
changes.
The unit is not level or is touching another
appliance.
Check the legs to ensure the unit
is level and that it is not in contact
with another appliance or furniture.
The door will not close
properly.
The appliance is not level.
Make sure the appliance is on a
level surface.
The door gasket is not installed correctly.
Make sure the door gasket is
properly installed.
The gasket is dirty.
Clean the door gasket.
