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 may Hm faster
and hmger than wmr old refl'igerator and wm may
hear a high-i)itched hmn or pulsating sotmd while
it is operating.
• Sometimes the refl_igerator runs fi)r an extended period,
especially when the dooxs are opened fl'equently. This
means that the Frost Guard TM feature is working to
prevent fl'eezer burn and improve tood preservation.
• _4m may hear a whooshing sotmd when the (loox_ close.
This is due to pressm'e equalizing within the reflJgeratm;
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when tile
refrigerator is first i)lugged in. This hal)pens as tile
x'efrigex'ator cools to the coxTect texlxpex'attlx'e.
• 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
coxIlpoxlexlts,
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or i_oi_ping
SOtlnd.
• On models with an icemakex; after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear tile ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.
WHIR!
• You may hear tile rims spinning at high speeds.
This hai_pens when the refrigerator is first plugged
in, when tile doors are opened frequently or when
a large amount of fired is added to the refrigerator
or fl'eezer compartments. Tile rims are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
• If either door is open fin" over 3 minutes, you may
hear the rims come on in order to cool the light
bulbs.
• Tile rims change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
• You may hear tile tim running after selecting one
of tile CustomCooF_settings.

• Tile flow of refl'igerant through tile fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water.
• Water dropping on the defl'ost heater can cause a
sizzling, i)oi)ping or buzzing sound 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
