Understanding
the sounds
you may hear
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that
your old one didn't. Because the sounds are
new to you, you might be wncemed about
them. Don't be. Most of the new sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls,
and cabinets can make the sounds seem
louder.
The following describes the kinds of
sounds that might be new to you, and what
may be making them.
Slight
hum,
soft
hiss
You may hear the refrigerator's fan motor
and moving air.
Clicking
or snapping
sounds
The thermostat makes a definite click when
the refrigerator stops running. It also makes
a sound when the refrigerator starts. The
defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle
starts.
Water
sounds
When the refrfgerator stops running, you
may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few
minutw after it stops. You may also hear
defrost water running into the defrost water
pan.

l
thud (clatter of ice)
You may hear buzzing (from the water
vafve), trickling water, and the clatter of ice

older designs. It may even seem to run most
of the time.
