Problem Solver - GE Monogram ZFSB27DASS Use And Care Manual

Normal
These sounds are normal and are due mostly to
operating highly efficient operation.
sounds
Depending on the placement of the refrigerator
in your kitchen, you may want to place a piece of
rubber backed carpet under the refrigerator to
reduce noise.
The new high efficiency compressor runs faster
and will have a higher pitch hum or pulsating
sound while operating.
Defrost timer and refrigerator control click on
and off.
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 feeler arm is in
the ON (down) position it will buzz even if it has
not yet been hooked up to water. Keeping the
feeler arm in the ON (down) position before it
is hooked up to water can damage the icemaker.
To prevent this, raise the feeler arm to the
STOP (up) position. This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and
water running in pipes as icemaker refills.
