Normal operating sounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and
use newer technology.
HUMMM...
WHOOSH ...
„
The new high efficiency compressor may run faster
and longer than your old refrigerator and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is
operating.
„
Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period,
especially when the doors are opened frequently. This
means that the Frost Guard™ feature is working to
prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.
„
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
„
You may hear
the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when
the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are
opened frequently or when a large amount of food is
added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The
fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.
„
If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear
the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.
„
The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
„
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
„
Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
„
The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound
when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5
minutes).
„
The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator
components.
„
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
„
On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle,
you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice
bucket.
WATER SOUNDS
„
The flow of
refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make
a gurgling noise like boiling water.
„
Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a
sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost
cycle.
„
A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost
cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.
„
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

icemaker and dispenser operating sounds,
