Normal operating sounds.

Depending on the placement of the refrigerator in your kitchen, 
you may want to place a piece of rubber-backed carpet under 
the refrigerator to reduce noise.

The fan circulating air inside the freezer which keeps the temperatures even.
Boiling water or a gurgling noise. The flow of refrigerant through the freezer

cooling coils.
Sizzling, hissing or popping sound. Water dropping on the defrost heater

during the defrost cycle.
Cracking or popping sound. Cooling coils expanding and contracting during

the defrosting cycle.
Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator and flows to the drain pan

during the defrost cycle.

Icemaker 

(on some models)

The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the

feeler arm is in the 

ON

(down) position it will buzz even if it has not yet been

hooked up to water. Keeping the feeler arm in the 

ON

(down) position

before it is hooked up to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this,

raise the feeler arm to the 

STOP

(up) position. This will stop the buzzing.

The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as

icemaker refills.
