Problem
Refrigerator does not
operate
Vibration or rattling
(slight vibration
is normal)
18
The new high efficiency compressor runs faster and will have a higher pitch hum
or pulsating sound while operating.
The fan circulating air inside the freezer which keeps the temperatures
throughout.
Water dropping on the defrost heater causing a sizzling, hissing or popping
sound during the defrost cycle.
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils sounds like boiling
water or a gurgling noise.
Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction
during defrost and refrigeration following defrost.
Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator and flows to the drain pan
during the defrost cycle.
Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the
power switch is in the I (on) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked
up to water. Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position before it is hooked
up to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, set the power switch to the
O (off) position. This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as
icemaker refills.
Possible Causes
Refrigerator in defrost cycle.
Freezer control
in 0 (off) position.
Refrigerator is unplugged.
The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped.
Front rollers need adjusting.
What To Do
• Wait about 30 minutes for defrost cycle to end.
• Move the freezer control to a lower temperature setting.
• Push the plug completely into the outlet.
•Replace fuse or reset the breaker.
•See Rollers.
