Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were notpresent in an older model.

Many of these sounds are normal.Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make thesesounds seem even louder.
