✎
The high speed compressor motor required to maintain near zero
temperaturesin
the large freezer compartment may produce higher sound levels
than your old refrigerator.
Normal fan air flow-one fan blows cold air through the refrigerator and
freezer compartments, another fan cools the compressor motor.
These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
●
Defrost timer switch clicks at defrost.
●
Defrost water dripping.
c
Temperature control clicks ON or OFF.
●
Refrigerant boiling or gurgling.
●
Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction
during defrost and refrigeration following defrost.
●
With automatic icemaker, the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water
running in pipes as icemaker refills.
●
Temperature control not set cold enough. Refer to the Temperature Controls
section.
●
Warm weather—frequent door openings.
●
Door left open too long.
●
Package may be holding door open.
●
Foods not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.
●
Door may have been left ajar or package holding door open.
*
Too frequent and too long door openings.
●
Frost within package is normal.
●
Door may have been left ajar.
●
Turn temperature of freezer compartment colder.
●
Old cubes need to be discarded.
●
Ice storage bin needs to be emptied or washed.
●
Unsealed packages in refrigerator and/or freezer compartments may be
transmitting odor/taste to ice cubes.
●
Interior of refrigerator needs cleaning. See the Care and Cleaning section.
●
Poor-tasting incoming water. Install a water filter.
●
Icemaker feeler arm in STOP (up) position.
* Water supply turned off or not connected.
●
Freezer compartment too warm.
●
Cubes too small—water shutoff valve connecting refrigerator to home water
line may be clogged.
●
Piled up cubes in storage bin may cause icemaker to shut off prematurely.
With icemaker feeler arm in STOP (up) position, level cubes in bin by hand.
●
No ice cubes. Remove storage bin. If cubes are frozen to wire arm, remove cubes.
●
No ice cubes. Icemaker turned off or water supply turned off.
●
