Installation 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.
Icemaker
(on some models). You will hear ice cubes rattle as they drop into
the ice bin. If this is your first icemaker, you’ll hear occasional sounds that may
be unfamiliar, such as the motor humming or water trickling. They are
normal icemaking sounds and are not a cause for concern.
Evaporator Fan.
You may hear air being forced through the cabinet 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 and
the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
Cold Control & Defrost Timer.
These parts can produce a snapping sound when
turning the refrigerator on or off. The timer also produces a sound similar to
an electric clock.
Plastic Liner.
Cracking or popping sounds may be heard due to expansion of
the plastic liner.
Water Valve
(on models equipped with an automatic icemaker). When the
icemaker fills with water you may hear a click, a buzzing sound or running
water.
Water Pan.
Water may be heard running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
Compressor.
Modern, high efficiency compressors operate much faster
than older models. The compressor may have a high pitched hum or
pulsating sound.
Condenser Fan.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the fan.
