Normal Operating Sounds

This new refrigerator may be replacing a differently

designed, less efficient or smaller refrigerator. Today’s

refrigerators have new features and are more energy

efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar.

These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar.

These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and

performing as designed.

1. Deepfreeze

fan air rushes and whirs.

2. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)

refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling

water.

3. Condenser fan air rushes and whirs.

4. Compressor has a high pitched hum or pulsating

sound.

5. Defrost timer sounds like an electric clock and

snaps in and out of defrost cycle.

6. Deepfreeze

control clicks when starting or

stopping compressor.

7. Defrost heater sizzles, hisses or pops.

8. Ice cubes from ice maker (some models) drop into

ice bucket.

Water valve (some models) buzzes when ice maker

fills with water. This occurs whether or not refrigerator

is connected to water supply. If refrigerator is not

connected to water supply, stop sound by raising ice

maker arm to

off

position. (Not shown)

Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has

excellent insulating capabilities. However, foam

insulation is not as sound absorbent as

previously used fiberglass insulation. (Not shown)
