NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Recent improvements in refrigeration design may introduce sounds in your new refrigerator that were not noticed in earlier modds.
These improvementswere madeto create a refrigerator that wiI[ preserve food better, run more energy effidendy, and perform quieter
overa& Becausenew refrigerator designsrun quieter than pastmodelsyou may start to detect soundsthat were actuallypresent in your
older model but were typically masked by the refrigerator's higher sound levels. Many of these soundsare normal The following are
someof the normal soundsyour new refrigerator may make:
REFRIGERANT FLOW: The flow of the
cooling fluid in your freezer area may cause
gurgling or quiet knocking sounds when the
refrigerator cycleson or off.
CONTROL SWITCHES: In
the electronics control area
there are numerous control
switches that make a quiet
chck[ngsound when you use
your refrigerator or during
some of the normal system
operations.
ICE MAKER: The cabinet
wi[[ occasionally generate a
rattling sound when ice
cubes are eiected into the
freezer ice bin. You may
also detect the motor that is
eiecting that ice, These are
normal sounds necessary for
ice making.
WATER VALVES: You may
detect a slight buzzing sound
under the refrigerator when
water is requested from the ice
dispenseror when the ice maker
needswater to make ice.
COMPRESSOR: The
compressor on this
unit has a variable
speed motor. This
variability allows the
system to adiust to
different usage needs.
This will introduce
speed change sounds
and some higher
pitched humming
sounds that are
normal for the
operation of this type
of compressor.
AIRFLOW SOUNDS:
There are a number of
fans in the refrigerator
that make airflow sounds
when in operation. The
freezer fan circulates
coo[ air throughout the
refrigerator. The refrig-
erator drcu[ating fan
helps keep that com-
partment's temperature
more uniform. The
condenser fan on top of
your refrigerator is
utilized to remove the
heat generated by the
refrigeration system.
Lastly, the Climate Zone
compartments circulate
air to maintain optimum
temperatures.
CABINET LEVELING:An unIevel
cabinet may cause rattles and
vibration noises.
