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
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 emcientiy to keep
your food items at the desired temperature.
• The high emciency compressor may cause your new
refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and 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 wails 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.
