The Problem Solver
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
22
The new high efficiency compressor runs faster and will have
a higher pitch hum or pulsating sound while operating.
The fans circulating air inside the freezer and fresh food
compartments which keep the temperatures uniform
throughout.
The fans operating at a high speed. 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
fresh food or freezer compartments.
Water dropping on the defrost heater causing a sizzling,
hissing or popping sound during the defrost cycle.
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils
sounds like boiling water or a gurgling noise.
Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion
and contraction during defrost and refrigeration following
defrost.
Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator and flows to
the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
Icemaker
The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills
with water. If the power switch is in the
l
(on) position it will
buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. Keeping
the power switch in the
l
(on) position before it is hooked up
to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, set the
power switch to the
0
(off) position. This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running
in pipes as icemaker refills.
Normal
operating
sounds
These sounds are normal and are due mostly to highly efficient operation.
