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 eflicienc) compressor ma) Hm faster
and hmger than wmr old refl'igerator and wm may
hear a high-i)itched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
• Sometimes tile refligeramr runs tot an extended period,
especially when the doo_ are opened fl'equently. This
means that the Frost Guard_"feature is working to
prevent fl'eezer burn and improve tood preservation.
• You may hear a whooshing sound when the (loo_ close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within tile reli-igerato_:
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when tile
refl'igerator is first i)lugged in. This hai)pens as tile
refrigerator cools to the correct tei/ll)erattlre.
• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sotmd when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 ininutes).
• The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator
COIlll) OIleIltS.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after deii'ost can cause a cracking or i)oi_ping
SOtlnd.
• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.
WHIR!
• You may hear tile tans 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 anlount of tood is added to the refrigerator
or freezer compartments. The tans are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
• If either door is open fin" over 3 minutes, you may
hear the tans come on in order to cool the light
bulbs.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water,
• _'lteI" dropping on the defl'ost heater can cause a
sizzling, I)oI)ping or buzzing sotmd dm'ing tile
defl'ost cvcle.
• A water dripping noise may occm" dm'ing 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.
