unfamiliar noises that are normal. Following are some normal sounds with an explanation:
Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker
Clicking/Snapping - valves opening or closing
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance
Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator
Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle
Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down
Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan
Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold
