UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY
HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old
one did not make. Because the sounds are new to you,
you might be concerned about them. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and
cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they
actually are. The following list describes the kinds of
sounds and what may be making them.
, The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost
cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or
refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also
click when cycling on and off.
, Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant,
the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator
, Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to
keep your food items at the desired temperature.
The high efficiency compressor may cause your new
refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but it is still
more energy efficient than previous models. While
running you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air
through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due
to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause
a popping noise.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost
cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
, You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
