Normal operatingsounds, w .ot oi.too,.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modem refrigerators have more features and use newer
technology.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
HUMMM...
--WHOOSH...
• Tile new high efficiency c()mpressor may run fi_ster
and longer than your old refi_gerator and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it
is operating.
• 54m may hear a whooshing sound when tile doo_ close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within tile reti_igerat(m
Electronic models only:
• Sometimes tile reflJgerator runs for an extended period,
espedally when tile doo_ are opened ti'equentl}: This
means that tile Frost GuardT"tbatm'e is working to prevent
ti'eezer b/:u'n and improve food presecvation.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
• Ym may hear cracking or popping so/mds when tile
reti_igerator is fi_t plugged in. This happens as tile
i'eliJgei'ator cools to tile coYi'ect teillpei'attli'e.
• Tile compressor may cause a clicking or chiq)ing
so/md when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
• Tile electronic control board may cause a clicking sound
when relays acti\:_te to control reti_igerator components.
• EN)ansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
alter deli'ost can Catlse a ci'acking or popping SOtlnd.
• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking cycle,
u)tl may hear tile ice cubes dropping into tile ice bucket.
WHIRl
• 54m may hear tile rims 'IS/innin_., Tile rims help to
maintain tile correct temperatures.
Electronic models only:
• Ym may hear tile rims si)inniw,_ at high, si)eeds.
This haII))ens.... when tile retii gerator, is fit_t I)hwgedm,in,
when tile doo_ are opened fl'equenfly or when a large
amount of food is added to tile reflJgerator or fl'eezer
COIIlp_l I'tlIleIltS.
• If either door is open fi)r over 3 minutes you may hear
the rims come on in order to cool the light bulbs,
• Tile rims chan(,e_ speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energ r} savin "S
WATERSOUNDS
6
• The flow of refrigerant through tile fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gmgling noise like boiling water:
• Water dropping on tile deti'ost heater can cause
a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound dining tile
defl'ost cycle.
• A water dripping noise may occur during tile defl'ost
cycle as ice melts ti'om tile e\:q)orator and flo_:s into
tile drain pan.
• Closing tile door may cause a gmgling SO/lild due to
pressure equalization.
