Appliance noise
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,
like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The
following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
CONCERN
Motor noise (compressor)
A clicking noise heard just
before the compressor
starts.
Occasional gurgling, similar
to water boiling.
Airflow noise.
Rattling and other noises.
WHAT TO DO
• Adjust the refrigerator to a colder setting
• Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the
refrigerator.
• Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions
