Door Closing

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has four leveling legs. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Move the refrigerator into its final location.

3. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the refrigerator or

turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take several
turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This
makes it easier to adjust the leveling legs.

4. Open the door and check to make sure that it closes as easily

as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear
by turning both front leveling screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the
same amount.

refrigerator and replace the screws.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the refrigerator.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

You may hear water running into the drain pan when the
refrigerator is defrosting.

You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or
stops running.
