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.

NOTE

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.

IMPORTANT

During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of your freezer compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

DAutomatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

EElectronic 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 in the past. The compressor may have a high- pitched hum or pulsating sound.

HWater valve If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

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.

IMPORTANT

If the Fresh Food door is left open form more than 5 minutes, an alarm will sound. The alarm will sound for 2 minutes and then stop. If the “Door Ajar” condition remains, the alarm will repeat every 30 minutes for two intervals.

After 15 minutes of a “Door Ajar” Condition, the unit will turn the Fresh Food light off until the door is closed. The door switch in the Fresh Food can be pressed and released to reset the alarm and light.
