Ice maker

Normal sounds

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the sounds are normal. Hard surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.

zYou will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water pan for each cycle.

zRattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises.

zThe high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high pitched sound.

zWater running over the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound.

zWater running from the evaporator plate to the water pan may make a splashing sound.

zAs each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.

zYou may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

zDuring the harvest cycle, you may hear a “thud” when the ice sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.

zWhen you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.

zIf the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear

a loud sound during water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended).

If there was a large amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few

 

minutes for the drain pump to clear. If there is still water in the bin, check to

 

see whether the drain hose is kinked.

 

For models with drain pumps, check that the drain hose is not damaged, or

 

kinked or pinched between cabinet and ice maker. Use only GE approved

 

drain pump kit, Part ZPK2.
