Understanding the 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 wncemed about them. 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 describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them.

Water sounds

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

pan.

Ice maker sounds

l trickling water

lthud (clatter of ice)

Slight hum, soft hiss

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

You may hear buzzing (from the water vafve), trickling water, and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Clicking or snapping sounds

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.

Running sounds

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.
