Sound Performance Beyond Many Expectations (continued)
Normal Operating Sound
Recent improvements in refrigeration design may introduce sounds in your new refrigerator that were
not noticed in earlier models. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that will preserve
food better, run more energy efficient, and perform quieter overall. Because new unit designs run
quieter than past models you may start to detect sounds that were actually present in your older units
but were typically masked by the refrigerator’s higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal.
The following are some of the normal sounds your new refrigerator may make:
COMPRESSOR:
The compressor on
this unit has a variable speed motor.
This variability allows the system to
adjust to different usage needs and
thereby make your cabinet much more
energy efficient. This will introduce
speed change sounds and some higher
pitched humming sounds that are
normal for the operation of this type of
compressor.
CONTROL SWITCHES:
In the
electronics control area there are
numerous control switches that make
a quiet clicking sound when you use
your refrigerator or during some of the
normal system operations.
AIRFLOW SOUNDS:
There are a
number of fans in the unit that make
airflow sounds when in operation.
The freezer fan circulates cool air
throughout the refrigerator. The
refrigerator circulating fan helps keep
that compartment’s temperature more
uniform. The condenser fan on top of
your unit is utilized to remove the heat
generated by the system. Lastly, the
FoodSaver™ compartments circulate
air to maintain optimum temperatures.
WATER VALVES
(if equipped): If
your unit has an ice dispenser or
icemaker you may detect a slight
buzzing sound under the unit when
water is requested from the ice
dispenser or when the icemaker needs
water to make ice.
ICEMAKER:
If equipped with an
icemaker the cabinet will occasionally
generate a rattling sound when ice
cubes are ejected into the freezer ice
bin. You may also detect the motor
that is ejecting that ice. These are
normal sounds necessary for ice
making.
REFRIGERANT FLOW:
The flow of
the cooling fluid in your freezer area
may cause gurgling or quiet knocking
sounds when the unit cycles on or
when the unit cycles off. This is just
the shock of the system cycling.
CABINET LEVELING:
An unleveled
cabinet may cause rattles and vibration
noises. This can be corrected by
adjusting the leveling wheels properly.
