■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator. ■ Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound. ■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator. ■ Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise. ■ You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
GrocerySavorTM ■ The GrocerySavorTM feature assists with periods of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures. Use this function to chill the fresh food stored in the refrigerator rapidly. ■ Press GrocerySavorTM until the symbol lights up (yellow LED). The GrocerySavorTM function shuts off automatically after 6 hours OR manually by pressing the Grocery Savor button again. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.
To dispense water: 1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever. IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the water dispenser. Pressing harder will not make the water dispense faster. 2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the dispenser frequently. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your water will not be filtered. 1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge. 2. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP. With the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops. Clean the Storage Bin 1. Empty the storage bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

Frozen food storage guide Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
Changing the Light Bulbs Power Interruptions NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. The dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All other lights require a 40-watt appliance bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from Sears. 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove light shield when applicable as shown. NOTE: To clean a light shield, wash it with warm water and a liquid detergent.

Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly. 8. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move. 9. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor.
