PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
REFRIGERATOR
DOES NOT OPERATE
MOTOR OPERATES
FOR LONG PERIODS
OR CYCLES ON AND
OFF FREQUENTLY
(Modern refrigerators
with more storage
space and a larger
freezer require
more operating time.
They start and stop
often to maintain
even temperatures.)
OPERATING
SOUNDS
• May be in defl'ost cycle when coinpressor does not operate fin" about
30 ininutes.
• Teml)erature control set at OFF.
• If interior light is not oil reii'igerator may not be phlgged in at
wall outlet.
• The filse is blown/circuit breaker is tiJpped. Replace filse or reset
the breaker.
• Norinal when refi'igerator is first phlgged in. Wait 24 houI_ fin" the
reti'igerator to completely cool down.
• The new \_riable speed compressor is designed to run fi)r longer
periods of tiIne to optiInize efficiency and noise. You may notice the
coml)ressor and/or tim speeds accelerate based upon door ol)eifings
and/or increased fl)od loads.
• You inay hear the rims si_iiming at high speeds. This hai_i_ens when
the reti'igerator is ill'St phlgged in, when the doors are opened
frequently or when a large amount of fl)od is added to the
reti'igerator or ti'eezei" coini_artmeists. The rims are heli_ing to
inaintain the correct teml)eratures.
• Door left open or package holding door open.
• If either door is open fl)r over 3 ininutes, you may hear the rims
coine on in order to cool the light.
• Hot weather or frequent door oi_enings. This is norinal.
• Teinperature controls set at the coldest setting. See Tempemlure
ControL_.
• Refi'igerator is so quiet, that inost of the tiine you will hear low or no
oi_erating noise.
• Norinal fan air flow--one tim blows cold air through the
fl'esh flIod and fl'eezer coml)artmeists--aimther tim cools
the
coissl)i'essoi" is/()toil
• The rims change speeds in order to provide optiinal cooling and
energy savings.
• These NORMAl, sounds will also be heard fl'oin tiine to tiine:
- You nlay hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the doors
close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the reti'igerator.
- A water drii)i)ing noise inay occur during the deti'ost cvcle as ice
Inelts ti'om the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
- The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling coils inav
inake a gurgling noise like boiling water,
- Water drol)l)ing on the defl'ost heater can cause a sizzling,
i)oi)ping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
- You Inav hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when the reti'igerator is
first phlgged in or during/alter the defl'ost cvcle. This hal)liens as
the refl'igerator cools to the correct teml)erature.
- Electronic dainpers click open and closed to provide optiinal
cooling and energy savings.
- The comi)ressor inay cause a clicking or chiri)ing SOUlSd when
atteinpting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
- The electronic control board inay cause a clicking SOUlSd when
relays activate to control reti'igerator coml)oisents.
- Ice cubes drol)ping into the bin and water iuiming in pipes
as iceinaker refills.
- The iceinaker water wflve will buzz when the iceinaker fills
with water.
