NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.

The following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

AEvaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

BEvaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.

CDefrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

DAutomatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation.

EElectronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.

FCondenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.

GCompressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

HWater valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.

IDrain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

JCondenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.

LIce dispensing paddle When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping, clicking, or popping sound when the solenoid opens and closes the ice chute.

MMotorized damper May produce a light humming during operation.

NOTE

Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.

NOTE

During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
