Normal Operating Sounds & Sights

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.
Following is a list of major components in your 

refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
 A 

Evaporator

 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.

 D 

Automatic ice maker

 When ice has 

been produced, you will hear ice cubes 

falling into the ice bin.

 E 

Electronic control & automatic 

defrost control

 These parts can 

produce a snapping or clicking sound 

when turning the cooling system on and 

off.

 F 

Condenser fan

 You may hear air being 

forced through the condenser.

 G 

Compressor

 Modern, high-efficiency 

compressors run much faster than in the 

past. The compressor may have a high-

pitched hum or pulsating sound.

 H 

Water valve

 Makes a buzzing sound 

each time it opens to fill the ice maker.

 I 

Drain pan

 (not removable) You may hear 

water dripping into the drain pan during 

the defrost cycle.

 J 

Condenser

 May create minimal sounds 

from forced air.

 K 

Motorized damper

 May produce a light 

humming during operation.

 L 

Ice dispensing paddle

 When 

dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping 

or clicking sound when the solenoid 

opens and closes the ice chute.

NOTE

During automatic defrost cycle, a red 

glow in the back wall vents of your freezer 

compartment is normal.

NOTE

Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is 

not a sound insulator.

 M 

Perfect Temp

TM

 Drawer (some 

models)

 Fans run intermittently when 

door is closed but turn off when door is 

opened (except when fridge is in Sabbath 

Mode). Air control valve may produce a 

light humming during operation.
