Normal operating sounds.
Depending on the placement of the refrigerator in your kitchen,
you may want to place a piece of rubber backed carpet under the
refrigerator to reduce noise.
Icemaker (on some models).
Occasionally you
will hear ice cubes dropping into the ice bin.
If this is your first icemaker, you’ll hear
occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar.
They are normal icemaking sounds and are
not a cause for concern.
Evaporator Fan.
You may hear air being
forced through the cabinet by the fan.
Evaporator.
The flow of refrigerant through
the evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
Defrost Heater.
During defrost cycles,
water dripping onto the heater may
cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After
defrosting, a popping sound may occur
and the evaporator may create a boiling
or gurgling sound.
Cold Control & Defrost Timer.
These parts
can produce a snapping sound when
turning the refrigerator on or off. The
timer also produces a sound similar to
an electric clock.
Plastic Liner.
Cracking or popping sounds
due to expansion of the plastic liner.
Water Valve (on models equipped with an
automatic icemaker).
When the icemaker fills
with water, a buzzing sound and running
water will be heard.
Water Pan.
Water may be heard running into
the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
Compressor.
Modern, high efficiency
compressors operate much faster than older
models. The compressor may have a high
pitched hum or pulsating sound.
Condenser Fan.
You may hear air being
forced over the condenser by the fan.
