Normal Operating Sounds
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.
The following is a list of major components
in your refrigerator and the sounds they can
cause:

evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
B
Evaporator fan
You may hear air being
forced through the refrigerator by the
evaporator fan.

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. Ice maker fan,
water valve activation, and refrigerant
