Evaporator Fan. You may hear air being forced through the cabinet by the fan.

Evaporator. The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

Defrost Heater. During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur and the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

Cold Control & Defrost Timer. These parts can produce a snapping sound when turning the refrigerator on or off. The timer also produces a sound similar to an electric clock.

Water Pan. Water may be heard running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

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

Condenser Fan. You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the fan.
