Understanding the Sounds you may Hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce
unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate
your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces
on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these
sounds more noticeable.
Following is a list of major components in your
refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator
may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced
through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
C Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water
dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a
hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a
popping sound may occur.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has been
produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the
ice bin.
E
J
K
Ele_ronic control & automatic defrost
control These parts can produce a snapping or
clicking sound when turning the cooling system on
and off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being forced
through the condenser.
G Compressor Nodern, high-efficiency compressors
run much faster than in the past. The compressor
may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Nakes a buzzing sound each time it
opens to fill the ice maker.
T Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water
dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
Condenser May create minimal sounds from
forced air.
Motorized damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
Ice chute When dispensing ice, you will hear
a snapping or clicking sound when the solenoid
opens and closes the ice chute.
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound
insulator. ....................................................................................................

wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
