UNDERSTANDING
SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator
may make sounds that your old one
did not make. 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 you may hear and what
may be causing them.
Clicking:
The defrost control 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:
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant,
the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
Whooshing:
•
Evaporator
fan motor circulating
the air through the
refrigerator
and freezer compartments.
•
Air being forced over the condenser
by the condenser
fan.
•
Ice compartment
fan in the freezer on the left side of
the refrigerator

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling
sound
caused by the refrigerant
flowing through the cooling
system.

and expansion
of the inside walls.

dripping
on the defrost
heater during a defrost

Vibrating
Noise:

a
cabinet or wall, some of the normal vibrations

an audible
sound. To eliminate
the noise, make sure that
the sides and back cannot vibrate
against any wall or
cabinet.
Dripping:
Water
running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
Pulsating or High-Pitched Sound:
Your refrigerator
is designed
to run more efficiently
to
keep your food items at the desired temperature.
The high
efficiency
compressor

to run longer than your old one, but is still more energy
efficient
than previous models. While

or high-pitched
sound.
