TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Possible Causes

Solutions

Rattling

Rattling noises may come from
the flow of refrigerant, the
water line on the back of the
unit, or items stored on top of
or around the refrigerator.

Normal Operation

The refrigerator is not resting
solidly on the floor.

The floor is weak or uneven or the leveling legs
need to be adjusted. See the “Door Alignment”
section.

The refrigerator with a linear
compressor was jarred while
running.

Normal Operation

Whooshing

The evaporator fan motor
is circulating air through
the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.

Normal Operation

Air is being forced over the
condenser by the condenser
fan.

Normal Operation

Gurgling

Refrigerant is flowing through
the cooling system.

Normal Operation

Popping

Contraction and expansion of
the inside walls due to changes
in temperature.

Normal Operation

Sizzling

Water dripping on the defrost
heater during a defrost cycle.

Normal Operation

Vibrating

If the side or back of the
refrigerator is touching a cabinet
or wall, some of the normal
vibrations may make an audible
sound.

To eliminate the noise, make sure that the sides
and back cannot vibrate against any wall or
cabinet.

Dripping

Water is running into the drain
pan during the defrost cycle.

Normal Operation

Pulsating or
High-Pitched
Sound

Your refrigerator is designed
to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired
temperature. The high efficiency
compressor may cause your
new refrigerator to run longer
than your old one, but it is still
more energy efficient than
previous models. While the
refrigerator is running, it is
normal to hear a pulsating or
high-pitched sound.
