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 cabinets may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a
new refrigerator.
