Normal sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds
are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can amplify the sounds to make it seem
louder than they actually are. The following list describes the sounds that might be new to
you and what may be causing them.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored
on top of the ice maker can also make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Water running may make a splashing sound.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice storage
bin.
Preparing the ice maker for long storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will
be necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3. Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove any remaining ice and water. Dry the bin.
5. Pull off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
6. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
