Understanding
The Sounds You Hay Hear
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make
unfamiliar sounds. These are all norma! 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.
Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a
sound insulator.

11mer or Auto Defrost Control
These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound

valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

You may hear water running into the drain pan
during the defrost cycle. The drain pan will be
located on top of the compressor for air-cooled
condensers (black coils on back of refrigerator).
T. Condenser Coils
A, Evaporator
The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may
create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B, Evaporator

defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound.
After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

red glow in the vents on the back wall of your freezer
compartment.
This is normal during the defrost cycle.

ice maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the
ice bin.
