Normal Operating Sounds

Understanding the

sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator

may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These

sounds normally indicate your refrigerator

is operating correctly. Some surfaces on

floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may

make these sounds more noticeable.
The following is a list of major components

in your refrigerator and the sounds they

can cause:

Evaporator

Refrigerant through the

evaporator may create a boiling or

gurgling sound.

Evaporator fan

You may hear air

being forced through the refrigerator

by the evaporator fan.

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.

Automatic ice maker

When ice

has been produced, you will hear

ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Ice

maker fan, water valve activation,

and refrigerant gas fluid may create

sounds from its operation.

Electronic control & automatic

defrost control

These parts can

produce a snapping or clicking sound

when turning the cooling system on

and off.

Condenser fan

You may hear air

being forced through the condenser.

Compressor

Modern, high-efficiency

compressors run much faster than

older models. The compressor may

have a high-pitched hum or pulsating

sound.

Water valve

Makes a buzzing sound

each time it opens to fill the ice

maker.

Drain pan

(not removable) You may

hear water dripping into the drain pan

during the defrost cycle.

Condenser

May create minimal

sounds from forced air.

Motorized Perfect Temp

drawer

damper

May produce a light

humming during operation.

Ice dispensing paddle

When

dispensing ice, you will hear a

snapping, clicking, or popping sound.

Motorized damper

May produce a

light humming during operation.

N Perfect Temp

drawer fan

Turns

off when door opens or

Perfect

Temp

drawer is turned off.

NOTE

Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator

is not a sound insulator.

NOTE

During automatic defrost cycle, a red

glow in the back wall vents of your

freezer compartment is normal.

Features vary by model
