PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
OPERATING SOUNDS
The high speed compressor motor required to maintain near zero temperatures in the
large freezer compartment may produce higher sound levels than your old refrigerator.
Normal fan air flow-one fan blows cold air through the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, another fan cools the compressor motor.
These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
Defrost timer switch clicks at defrost.
Defrost water dripping into drain pan.
Temperature control clicks ON or OFF.
Refrigerant boiling or gurgling.
Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction during
defrost and refrigeration following defrost.
. With automatic icemaker, the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water
running in pipes as icemaker refills.
