USER WARNINGS AND SOUNDS
DESCRIPTION
ActiveSmart™ refrigerators have fans which change speed depending on demand.
During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate the cold
air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments producing some air flow sound. This
is quite normal.
This may occur when the automatic defrost function is operating.
This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard as a boiling or gurgling
noise.
This is due to the pressure difference between the warm air that has entered the
cabinet and suddenly cooled, and the outside air pressure.
This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
Normally occur over time due to a build up of dirt and/or grime. See 'Exterior
cleaning' section.
Motor operation (low humming).
Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
Loosened from the ice molding tray (cracking).
Ice dropping into bin (clunking).
Cabinet not stable or level.
Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
