Noise

To listen to normal refrigerator sounds, go to the Product Help/FAQ section of the brand website and search for “normal sounds.” 

The motor seems to run 
too much

High efficiency compressor and fans

Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more 

energy efficient speeds. 

The room or outdoor temperature is 

hot. 

It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these 

conditions. For optimum performance, place the refrigerator 

in an indoor, temperature controlled environment. See 

“Location Requirements.”

A large amount of warm food has 

been recently added. 

Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the 

air cools to the desired temperature. 

The door(s) are opened too frequently 

or for too long.

Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. 

Open the door less often. 

The refrigerator door or freezer drawer 

is ajar.

Make sure the refrigerator is level. See “Door Closing and 

Door Alignment.” Keep food and containers from blocking 

the door. 

The refrigerator control is set too cold. Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the 

refrigerator temperature is as desired. 

The door or drawer gasket is dirty, 

worn, or cracked.

Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause 

the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired 

temperatures. 

The lights do not work

Your refrigerator is equipped with LED 

lighting which does not need to be 

replaced. 

If there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not 

illuminate when a door or drawer is opened, call for service 

or assistance.

The dispenser light is set to OFF

On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when 

a dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light 

to stay on continuously, see “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

Doors have been open longer than 

10 minutes

Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume 

lighted task. 

MicroEdge

®

 Glo shelves (on 

some models) are not lit 

Shelf hooks are not fully engaged in 

shelf supports

Check that the rear shelf hooks are completely seated into 

the slots in the shelf supports. 

Shelf supports, fastened to the back 

wall of the refrigerator cabinet, are 

loose

Check all shelf support screws to ensure they are fully 

tightend. Tighten all loose screws. 

Pantry Temperature 
Control not lit/
unresponsive

The refrigerator is in Cooling Off mode Exit Cooling Off mode. See “Using the Control(s).”

The refrigerator controls’ initialization 

process did not complete 

successfully. 

Unplug the refrigerator, wait 5 seconds. Plug in the 

refrigerator, and wait 30 seconds before opening any of the 

refrigerator doors or touching the control panel. 

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSES 

SOLUTIONS

The refrigerator seems 
noisy

Below are listed some normal 

sounds with explanations.

The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates 

temperature more efficiently while using less energy, and 

operates quietly. Due to this reduction in operating noise 

you may notice unfamiliar noises that are normal. 

Sound of the compressor 

running longer than expected

High-efficiency compressor and fans

Larger, more efficient refrigerators run 

longer at lower, more energy efficient 

speeds. 

Pulsating/Whirring

Fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance 

during normal compressor operation

This is normal.

Popping

Contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during 

initial cool-down

This is normal.

Hissing/Dripping

Flow of refrigerant, or flow of oil in the compressor 

This is normal.
