Understanding Sounds You May Hear

Your new refrigerator may make different sounds than your old one. Hard surfaces, such as the ceilings, walls, and cabinets around the refrigerator can make sounds seem louder. These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar. These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and performing as designed.

•Freezer and fresh food fan - air rushes and whirls.

•Sealed system - (evaporator and heat exchanger) refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling water.

•Defrost heater - sizzles, hisses or pops. •Condenser fan - air rushes and whirls.

•Compressor - has a high pitched hum or pulsating sound. •Ice cubes - from ice maker drop into ice bucket.

•Ice maker valve hookup - buzzes when ice maker fills with water. This occurs whether or not refrigerator is connected to water supply. If refrigerator is not connected to water supply, stop sound by raising ice maker arm to OFF position.

•Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has excellent insulating capabilities. However, foam insulation is not as sound absorbent as previously used fiberglass insulation.

Saving Energy

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity. •Clean the condenser coil 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 will not have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

•Don’t overcrowd the refrigerator so air movement is blocked. •Don’t set the refrigerator and freezer to temperature colder than necessary.
