SOUNDS IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR

UNDERSTANDING THE

SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls, and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. Due to new product designs, there may be sounds that you are not familiar with. The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.

SOUNDS/OBSERVATIONS

CAUSES

Hum or hiss

The refrigerator fan motor and moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds

The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running.

 

It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts.

 

The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts and stops.

Ice maker sounds

You may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water,

• trickling water

and the clatter of ice falling into the bin.

• clatter of ice

 

Running sounds

The high-efficiency compressor and motor will run longer than older designs.

 

The internal fan may occasionally run when the compressor is off.

Trickling water/water sounds

During the defrost cycle, the refrigerator will not be running. The trickling

 

water is the frost accumulated on the freezer coil melting and running into

 

the defrost pan. When the refrigerator stops running, you will hear

 

gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes.

Warm air from upper ventilation

You may feel air blowing from behind the upper ventilation panel and base

panel/base grille

grille when the refrigerator is running. This is normal.

SAVING ENERGY

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

Clean the condenser coils regularly.

Open the door as few times as possible. Think about what you need before you open the door. Get everything out at one time. Keep food organized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

Fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s cold enough.
