Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you
might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and
cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and
what may be making them.
Concern
Motor noise (compressor).
A clicking noise heard just before the
compressor starts.
Occasional gurgling, similar to
water boiling.
Airflow noise.
Rattling and other noises.
Crisper Operation
Concern
Excess moisture build up in crisper. It is
normal for there to be some moisture
and humidity in the crisper bin.
Crisper bin can not be removed.
Freezing items in the crisper.
What to do
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the refrigerator.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Adjust temperature to a colder setting.
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the freezer.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.

Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a high water content
should not be placed near the cooling vents.
Refer to function guide in Controlling Your Refrigerator.
Ensure that user interface is in "awake" mode before trying to adjust temperature settings.
What to do
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a variable speed compressor and fan that
at start up and on warm days runs at a high speed to provide additional cooling.
When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed Note that
the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching action of the
temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.
Nothing. As each refrigeration cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant
flowing in your refrigerator system.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to circulate air. Fan speed
and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage or hot weather.
Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions on page 11.
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or placed on top of
the appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that they are vibrating
(such as bottles).
What to do
Ensure that the crisper is not over packed.
Adjust crisper humidity slides.
If crisper bin interferes with the door bins, remove door bins before removing crisper.
Position cabinet so that the door can be fully opened.
Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
