OF

REFRIGERATOR

.

LIGHT BULB IS NOT ON

EVAPORATOR
The flow of refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling
or gurgling sound.

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER *
Occasionally you will hear ice
cubes dropping into the ice bin.

COLD CONTROL & DEFROST TIMER
These parts can produce a snapping
sound when turning the refrigerator
on or off. The timer also produces
sounds similar to an electric clock.

INSULATION
Rigid foam insulation has excellent
insulating capabilities. It is very
energy efficient; however, it does
have a tendency to amplify sound.

EVAPORATOR FAN
You may hear air being forced
through the cabinet by the fan.

DEFROST HEATER
During defrost cycles, water dripping
onto the heater may cause a hissing
or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a
popping sound may occur.

WATER VALVE *
When the ice maker fills with
water, you will hear a buzzing
sound and water running.

COMPRESSOR
Modern, high efficiency compressors
operate much faster than older models.
The compressor may have a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound.

* On models equipped with an Automatic Ice Maker.

Normal Operating
Sounds
