Sounds you may hear...

‘/	Your	new	refrigerator	may	make	sounds	that	your	old	one	didn’t.
	Because	the	sounds are new to you,			you might	be concerned			about	them.
P	Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor,
	walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.
	The following chart			describes	the	kinds of	sounds	that	might	be	new to
3’ +	you, and what may be making				them.

Possible Sounds:

l Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

9 Clicking or Snapping Sounds:

l Water Sounds:

l Ice Maker Sounds: - trickling water

- thud (clatter of ice)

l Running Sounds:

Probable Causes:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator

stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts and stops,

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing [from the water valve], trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor.

It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time.
