It’s unexpected to hear that you’ve been less than impressed with the quality of your new refrigerator, and that the side compartments have left you wanting more space. We are constantly working to make our appliances the best they can be, and we’ll be sure to forward your feedback to our product team so we can continue to improve.

Refrigerators make a wide variety of noises during operation, and a humming noise is normal. We recommend checking out page 43 of your use and care manual, linked below, for more information on the noises you’ll hear from your fridge.
