Normal Operating Sounds

This new refrigerator may be replacing a differently
designed, less efficient or smaller refrigerator. Today's
refrigerators have new features and are more energy
efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be
unfamiliar. These sounds are normal and will soon
become familiar. These sounds also indicate
refrigerator is operating and performing as designed.
