TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
UNDERSTANDING
SOUNDS
YOU
MAY
HEAR
Your
new
refrigerator
may
make
sounds
that
your
old
one
didn't
make.
Because
the
sounds
are
new
to
you,
you
might
be
concerned
about
them.
Most
of
the
new
sounds
are
normal.
Hard
surfaces,
like
the
floor,
walls
and
cabinets,
can
make
the
sounds
seem
louder
than
they
actually
are.
The
following
describes
the
kinds
of
sounds
and
what
may
be
making
them.
?
The
defrost
timer
will
click
when
the
automatic
defrost
cycle
begins
and
ends.
The
thermostat
control
(or
refrigerator
control,
depending
on
the
model)
will
also
click
when
cycling
on
and
off.
?
Rattling
noises
may
come
from
the
flow
of
refrigerant,
the
water
line,
or
items
stored
on
top
of
the
refrigerator.
?
Your
refrigerator
is
designed
to
run
more
efficiently
to
keep
your
food
items
at
the
desired
temperature.
The
high
efficiency
compressor
may
cause
your
new
refrigerator
to
run
longer
than
your
old
one,
and
you
may
hear
a
pulsating
or
high-pitched
sound.
?
You
may
hear
the
evaporator
fan
motor
circulating
the
air
through
the
refrigerator
and
freezer
compartments.
?
As
each
cycle
ends,
you
may
hear
a
gurgling
sound
due
to
the
refrigerant
flowing
in
your
refrigerator.
?
Contraction
and
expansion
of
the
inside
walls
may
cause
a
popping
noise.
?
Water
dripping
on
the
defrost
heater
during
a
defrost
cycle
may
cause
a
sizzling
sound.
?
You
may
hear
air
being
forced
over
the
condenser
by
the
condenser
fan.
?
You
may
hear
water
running
into
the
drain
pan
during
the
defrost
cycle.
