HUMMM...
WHOOSH...
¿ The new high efficiency compressor
may run faster and longer than your
old refrigerator and you may hear a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound
while it is operating.
¿ You may hear a whooshing sound
when the doors close. This is due
to pressure equalizing within the
refrigerator.
¿ You may hear the fans spinning at
high speeds. This happens when the
refrigerator is first plugged in, when
the doors are opened frequently
or when a large amount of food is
added to the refrigerator or freezer
compartments. The fans are helping
to maintain the correct temperatures.
¿ The fans change speeds in order to
provide optimal cooling and energy
savings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and SNAPS
¿ You may hear cracking or popping
sounds when the refrigerator is
first plugged in. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct
temperature.
¿ Expansion and contraction of cooling
coils during and after defrost can cause a
cracking or popping sound.
WATERÜØÞ×ÍÜ
¿ The flow of refrigerant through the
cooling coils may make a gurgling
noise like boiling water.
¿ Water dropping on the defrost
heater can cause a sizzling, popping
or buzzing sound during the defrost
cycle.
¿ A water dripping noise may occur
during the defrost cycle as ice melts
from the evaporator and flows into the
drain pan.
¿ Closing the door may cause a gurgling
sound due to pressure equalization.
If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal position for any period of time, wait
24 hours after returning it to the upright position before plugging it in.
IMPORTANT
During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow in the vents on the
back wall of your freezer compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle.
