Operating Instructions
Normal operating sounds.
Depending on the placement of the refrigerator in your kitchen,
you may want to place a piece of rubber backed carpet under
the refrigerator to reduce noise.
The new high efficiency compressor runs faster and will have a higher pitch hum
or pulsating sound while operating.
Defrost timer and refrigerator control click on and off.
The fan circulating air inside the freezer which keeps the temperatures
throughout.
Water dropping on the defrost heater causing a sizzling, hissing or popping
sound during the defrost cycle.
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils sounds like boiling
water or a gurgling noise.
Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction
during defrost and refrigeration following defrost.
Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator and flows to the drain pan
during the defrost cycle.
Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the feeler
arm is in the
ON
(down) position it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up
to water. Keeping the feeler arm in the
ON
(down) position before it is hooked up
to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, raise the feeler arm to the
STOP
(up) position. This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as
icemaker refills.
