The Problem Solver
Bar Refrigerator with Icemaker
• You may hear the fans spinning at
high speeds. This happens when the
appliance is first plugged in, when the
door is opened frequently or when a
large amount of food is added to the
appliance. The fans help maintain
desired temperatures.
• If the door is open for over 3 minutes,
you may hear the fans come on in order
to cool the light bulbs.
• The fans change speeds in order to
provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
WATER SOUNDS
• The flow of refrigerant through the
freezer cooling coils may make a
gurgling noise like boiling water.
• Water dropping on the defrost heater can
cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound
during the defrost cycle.
• A water dripping noise may occur
during the defrost cycle as ice melts
from the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.
• Closing the door may cause a gurgling
sound due to pressure equalization.

icemaker and dispenser operating
sounds, see the Automatic Icemaker
section in the Bar Refrigerator with
Icemaker Owner's Manual only.
