Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds
normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls,
and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.
Following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can
cause:
Evaporator
Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling
sound.
B Evaporator Fan
You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the
evaporator fan.
C Defrost Heater
During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may
cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping
sound may occur.
