NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS & SIGHTS
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
The new high-efficiency beverage center may make unfamiliar sounds.
These are all normal sounds and soon will become familiar to you.
They also indicate your beverage center 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.
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 beverage
center 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.
D. Automatic Ice Maker
If your beverage center is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
E. Cold Control & Defrost Timer or Automatic
Defrost Control
These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the beverage center on and off. The timer
also produces sounds similar to an electric clock.
F. Condenser Fan
If condenser coils are located underneath your beverage
center 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 beverage center 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 is located on top of the
compressor for air-cooled condensers (black coils
on back of beverage center).
J. Condenser Coils (Fan-cooled models only)
May create minimal sounds from forced air.

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.
