UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY

HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar

sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will

become familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator

is operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or

wood floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make

sounds more noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of

some of the most common sounds you may hear, and

what is causing them.

NOTE: Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient,

but is not a sound insulator.

Normal Operating Sounds & Sights

A. Evaporator

The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may

create a boiling or gurgling sound.

B. Evaporator Fan

You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator

by the evaporator fan.

C. Defrost Heater

During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost

heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After

defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

IMPORTANT: During the automatic defrost cycle, you

may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of

your freezer compartment. This is normal during the

defrost cycle.

D. Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice

maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Defrost Timer/Automatic Defrost

Control

These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound

when turning the refrigerator on and off. The timer also

produces sounds similar to an electric clock.

F. Condenser Fan

If condenser coils are located underneath your

refrigerator as shown in the drawing at the left, you

have a condenser fan. You may hear air being forced

through the condenser by the condenser fan.

G. Compressor

Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much

faster than older models. The compressor may have a

high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H. Water Valve

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice

maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve

opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

I. Drain Pan

(Nonremovable)

You may hear water running into the drain pan during

the defrost cycle. The drain pan will be located on top

of the compressor for air-cooled condensers (black coils

on back of refrigerator).

J. Condenser Coils

(Fan-cooled models only)
