Normal operatingsounds.
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...
• The new high efficiency compressor may Hm faster
and hmger than your old refl'igerator and wm may
hear a high-I_itched hmn or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
• Sometimes tile refl-igerator runs tot an extended period,
especially when the doo_ are opened ti'equently. This
means that tile FrostGuardTM featm'e is working to
prevent fl'eezer bm'n and improve tood preservation.
• _m may hear a whooshing so/md when tile (loo_ close.
This is due to pressm'e equalizing within the refiJgeratm;
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when tile
refrigerator is first plugged in. This hal)pens as tile
refrigerator cools to tile correct tell/l)erature.
• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
• The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator
coIIll)OllelltS.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or i)oi)ping
SO/llld.
• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking
cycle, you mav hear tile ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.
WHIRl
• You may hear tile rims spinning at high speeds.
This hal)pens when the refrigerator is first i)lugged
in, when the doors are opened frequently or when
a large amotmt of tood is added to the refrigerator
or freezer comI)amnents. The rims are helping to
maintain tile correct temperatures.
• If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may
hear the rims come on in order to cool the light
bulbs.
• The £ms change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
• You may hear the tim framing atter selecting one
of tile CustonlCool _ settings.
WATER SOUNDS
6
• The flow of refl'igerant through tile fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water.
• _'_ter dropping on tile defl'ost heater can cause a
sizzling, I)oI)ping or buzzing so/md dm'ing tile
defl'ost cvcle.
• A water dripping noise may occur during tile defl'ost
cycle as ice melts fl'om tile evaporator and flows into
tile drain pan.
• Closing tile door mav cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.
