• These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:

 

 

 

 

– You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the doors close.

 

 

 

 

This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

 

 

 

 

– A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice

 

 

 

 

melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.

 

 

 

 

– 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.

 

 

 

 

– You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator

 

 

 

 

is first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as

 

 

 

 

the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

 

 

 

 

– Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling

 

 

 

 

and energy savings.

 

 

 

 

– The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when

– The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when

 

 

 

 

relays activate to control refrigerator components.
