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.

You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators
have more features and use newer technology.

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.

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.

The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take 
up to 5 minutes).

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.

Normal operating sounds.
