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)
Motor noise (compressor);
A clicking noise heard just
before the compressor
starts.
WHAT TO DO
• Adjust the refrigerator to a colder setting
• Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the
refrigerator.
• Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions
• 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
• 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 warmer setting.
• 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 sections "temperature control" and "about the user
interface".
• 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 high-speed
compressor which switches on and off during operation.
Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of
the on cycle.
These refrigerators are fitted with a variable speed compressor
and fan. At start up and on warm days they run at a higher speed
to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is required
the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed. As a result it
is normal for sound levels to change depending on operating
conditions.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic
switching action of the temperature control, turning the
compressor on and off.
