Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to
you. 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 that might be new to you and what may be
making them.
• You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to
fill the water reservoir for each cycle.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or
the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also
make noises.
• The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high
pitched sound.
• Water running over the evaporator plate may make a
splashing sound.
• Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir
may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
• During the harvest cycle, you may hear a "thud" when the ice
sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.
• When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water
running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a
rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
