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.
These sounds are normal and are
due mostly to highly efficient
operation.

Before you call for service...

Troubleshooting Tips

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following
pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem
Refrigerator does not
operate
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.
Possible Causes
Refrigerator in defrost cycle.
Fresh food control
in
(off) position.
Refrigerator is unplugged.
The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped.
What To Do
• Wait about 30 minutes for defrost cycle to end.
• Move the fresh food control to a temperature setting.
• Push the plug completely into the outlet.
•Replace fuse or reset the breaker.
