ENGLISH
There is a fan inside your refrigerator which helps
to maintain the temperature you have selected.
Whirring is common when the refrigerator is rst
plugged in, when the doors have been opened
often or for an extended period of time and when a
large amount of food has been added.
This is a common noise that comes from
the compressor and is a part of making your
refrigerator run eciently.
It is possible that you may hear a whooshing
noise when closing the doors. This is no cause
for concern. It is simply the pressure in the
refrigerator equalizing.
 There are a lot of things going on in your
refrigerator at any given time. Additional noises
you may hear, and possible causes include:
 Gurgling is most likely due to the circulation of
refrigerant through the cooling coils.
 Sizzling or popping sounds can be frost melting
and falling onto the defrost h
eater during the
defrost cycle.
 Clicking or chirping may be heard as the
compressor attempts to re-start.
 Cracking or popping noises may be from the
expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after the defrost cycle.
 Also, when your refrigerator is rst plugged
in, the foam insulation in the walls will cool and
contract, which can result in cracking or popping
noises.
If the refrigerator has been placed in a ho
rizontal
position for any period of time, wait 24 hours after
returning it to the upright position before plugging
it in.
IMPORTANT
During the automatic defrost cycle, you may
notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of
your freezer compartment. This is normal during
the defrost cycle.
