EVAPORATOR FAN I
You may hear air being forced
through the cab net 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.

COLD CONTROL & DEFROST TIMER
These parts can produce a snapping
sound when turning the refrigerator
on or off. The timer also produces
sounds similar to an electric clock.
INSULATION
Rigid foam insulation has excellent
insulating capabilities. It is very
energy efficient; however, it does
have a tendency to amplify sound.

Modern, high efficiency compressors
operate much faster than older models.
The compressor may have a high-
