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.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features
and use newer technology.
n
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
n
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator
cools to the correct temperature.
n
The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when
attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
n
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after
defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
n
On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle, you
may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
WATER SOUNDS
n
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may
make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
n
Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling,
popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
n
A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
n
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure
equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

icemaker operating sounds, see the
