Problem
Loud noises
Door gaskets not
sealing
Defrost pan over flows
Refrigerator exterior
case is warm
Surface condensation
Abnormal noise
Not making ice cubes
(only on models with an
ice maker)
Possible Causes
• The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise
like boiling water.
• Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
• Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology. The
new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old
refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
• The icemaker will make a loud noise when cubes are dropped into the ice
storage bucket. A hum or click can be heard when the icemaker fills with
water. This sound may be heard once or multiple times.
• The refrigerator is not leveled. Adjustable legs at the bottom front corners of
the refrigerator should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the
floor.
• Door gasket on hinge side is dirty or folded over. Clean and unfold gasket.
Apply paraffin wax to the face of the gasket.
• Gently heat the gasket with a hair dryer, allowing the rubber to become
more pliable and conform better to the door frame, effectively closing any
gaps; however, be cautious not to overheat the gasket as this can damage it
permanently.
• High humidity levels can lead to more condensation forming inside the
refrigerator, filling the drain pan faster.
• Doors left open, not closing properly, or gasket not sealing resulting in
frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.
• Your refrigerator has an automatic energy saver system that circulates
warm liquid between the outer case and the inner case of the refrigerator
to prevent condensation from building up on the outside of the refrigerator.
The case can feel very warm, especially around the doors.
• From time to time, you may see condensation, sweat, or moisture form on
the articulating mullion (flap) on the edge of the fresh-food door of your
refrigerator. This usually happens during warmer times of the year and/or
periods of high humidity. As warm air hits the cold surface, condensation can
develop.
• Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzing sounds during operation,
particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.
• A boiling, gurgling, or knocking sound can be heard when the unit is running.
This is caused by the circulation of refrigerant.
• The ice making function is not turned on. Switch on the ice maker.
• The appliance is not being supplied with water. Check whether the house
water supply to the refrigerator is on.
• The house water supply line to the refrigerator is kinked. Repair kink.
• The refrigerator is not correctly installed to the house water supply.
• The water pressure is too low. Check the pressure of the house water
supply, or whether the filter is clogged.
