UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY

HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will

become familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or

wood floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make

sounds more noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of some of the most common sounds you may hear, and

what is causing them.

A.Evaporator

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

B.Evaporator Fan

You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan. Also, you will feel warm air

being pushed out the front of the refrigerator from under the Toe Grille.

C. Defrost Heater

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

D. Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, you wilt hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control

These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the refrigerator on and off.

E Condenser Fan

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

G.Compressor

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

H.Water Valve

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

I. Drain Pan (not removable)

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
