REFRIGERATOR USE
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, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the refrigerator.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan when the
refrigerator is defrosting.
• You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or
stops running.
