UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator might produce certain noises that 
your previous refrigerator did not. It is normal if you worry. 
Most of the new sounds you will be hearing are actually 
normal  and  expected.  Hard  surfaces  like  walls  or  floor 
can increase sounds and make them sound louder than 
they really are. The following list has a description of such 
sounds along with their causes.

• 

The thawing timer will make a “click” sound when such 
timer  will  start  and  finish.  Temperature  controlling 
device will also make a “click” sound at the beginning 
and ending of the refrigerator cycle.

• 

You  will  hear  a  bell  sound  caused  by  the  flow  of  the 
refrigerant, water pipe or objects located on the superior 
part of the refrigerator.

• 

Your  refrigerator  is  designed  to  work  efficiently  to 
preserve  your  food  at  the  desired  temperature  using 
the least of energy. You will be able to hear a pulsing 
sound coming from the ventilators and the evaporator. 
The  speed  of  the  ventilator  can  speed  up  when  you 
open the refrigerator door.

• 

After each cycle you will hear a dripping sound due to 
the refrigerant liquid in your refrigerator.

• 

Contraction and expansion of the inner walls can cause 
a slight popping sound.

• 

You  will  hear  a  dripping  sound  caused  during  the 
thawing cycle.

• 

During  the  defrosting  cycle  the  water  might  cause  a 
dripping sound.

• 

You can hear some tight air sound over the capacitor 
caused by the fan.

• 

Running  water  can  be  heard  during  the  defrosting 
cycle.

• 

Due  to  its  low  energy  consumption  design  of  the 
refrigerator;  the  fans  will  remain  of,  while  the  on-off 
switch activated the internal light of bin.
