The new high efficiency
compressor may run
faster and longer than
your old refrigerator and
you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound
while it is operating.

You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
Normal operating sounds. www.GEAppliances.com
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use
newer technology.

You may hear the fans spinning at
high speeds. This happens when the
refrigerator is first plugged in, when the
doors are opened frequently or when
a large amount of food is added to the
refrigerator or freezer compartments. The
fans are helping to maintain the correct
temperatures.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator
cools to the correct temperature.

The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when
attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).

Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after
defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

On models with an ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you
may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
WATER SOUNDS

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may
make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling,
popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The automatic ice maker in my
refrigerator will produce ice when the
refrigerator is plugged in to a power
receptacle.
MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned
on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected
and water is turned on. The ice maker can be turned off by switching it to the OFF
position.
The freezer must be 15 degrees or colder before the icemaker will produce ice. Please
allow at least 24 hours for the refrigerator to pull down and the unit’s temperature to
stabilize.
I will never see frost inside the freezer
compartment. MYTH Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly sealed, or has been left open. If frost is found, clear the frost using a plastic spatula and towel,
then check to ensure that no food packages or containers are preventing the freezer
door from closing. To help reduce to the potential for frost please make sure there
is proper clearance to the air supply and vents in the freezer to improve circulation.
Always cover food before loading into the refrigerator, moisture from open containers
can add to the frost load.
Refrigerator door handles can be
easily tightened. TRUE If door handles are loose or have a gap, the handle can be adjusted with set screws located on the ends of the handles.
After starting the ice maker throw
away 24 hours of ice production. TRUE To avoid issues with odor and taste the first batch of ice should be discarded
Door removal is always required for
installation. MYTH Doors should only be removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or access to final location. If doors are removed please review Reversing the
Door Swing section for re-hang procedure.
There is an adjustment to rear wheels. MYTH Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the refrigerator.
Leveling legs are used to make initial fresh food door adjustment. There should be
approximately a ¼” fall from the front to back to ensure that the doors always close.
Any All-Purpose cleaner can be used to
clean my refrigerator. MYTH All-purpose cleaners are not recommended for use on the refrigerator. Do not use wax, polish, ammonia, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on for
any surfaces. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
The stainless steel doors can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will
remove rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and
rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance
wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Gaskets will last longer with regular
cleaning and maintenance. TRUE Clean gaskets with warm soapy water. Make sure all folds are clean and dry after cleaning. Make sure flanges are clear of any grit or grime. After cleaning the door
gaskets, apply paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gaskets and hinges at the
hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.
