Westinghouse WHE6200S, User Manual

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new 

refrigerator.

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food 

inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back 

and sides of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel 

warm – which is normal.

A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer 

section. This coil cools and removes moisture from the air 

inside.

Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator, 

as it affects the efficient circulation. If the door is opened 

frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the 

freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few 

days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy 

frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed. 

Your new refrigerator uses a variable-speed compressor, 

along with other energy-efficient components, which may 

make unusual sounds. These sounds simply indicate your 

refrigerator is working how it should. They include:

• 

 Compressor running noises;

• 

 Air movement noise from the small fan motor;

• 

 A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;

• 

 A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting; 

and

• 

 A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
