Normal Operating Sounds

This new refrigerator may be replacing a differently
designed, less efficient or smaller refrigerator. Today's
refrigerators have new features and are more energy
efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar.
These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar.
These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and
performing as designed.
1. Deepfreeze ® control clicks when starting or stopping
compressor.
2. Deepfreeze ® fan air rushes and whirs.
3. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)
refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling
water.
4. Defrost heater sizzles, hisses or pops.
5. Condenser fan air rushes and whirs.
6. Compressor has a high pitched hum or pulsating
sound.
7. Ice cubes from ice maker (some models) drop into
ice bucket.
8. Ice maker water valve hookup (some models)
buzzes when ice maker fills with water. This occurs
whether or not refrigerator is connected to water
supply. If refrigerator is not connected to water
supply, stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off
position.
Note: Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has
excellent insulating capabilities. However, foam insulation
is not as sound absorbent as previously used fiberglass
insulation.
