Noises

Ice and water into the Active Smart products introduced some unfamiliar sounds, which are
normal. The noises are difficult to hear and may not be heard during the day, but during the night
may sound louder.
Cracking Noise
The ice cracking is due to the ice tray being twisted to loosen the ice cubes in the ice tray.
Humming.
There will be a low humming noise when the ice tray motor/gearbox rotates the tray to flip the ice
cubes from the tray.
Clunking Noise.
Ice falling into the ice bin may initially make a noise then disappear. The reason for this is that
there is no ice in the bin, but as the bin fills with ice the noise lessens.
Water Filling
After the ice trays bins empties and returns to its normal position, the water valve comes on to refill
the tray. The noise will be a hissing or water running noise. How often this noise appears will be
dependent on the time the water takes to reach freezing temperature.
