Dacor BUILT-IN Refrigerators User Manual

OPERATING SOUNDS
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older
model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is
quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, but were masked by higher
sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors
and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new
refrigerator.
REFRIGERANT FLOW: The flow of the
cooling fluid in your freezer area may cause
gurgling or quiet knocking sounds when the
refrigerator cycles on or off.
CONTROL SWITCHES: In
the electronics control area
there are numerous control
switches that make a quiet
clicking sound when you use
your refrigerator or during
some of the normal system
operations.
ICE MAKER: The cabinet
will occasionally generate
a rattling sound when ice
cubes are ejected into the
freezer ice bin. You may
also detect the motor that is
ejecting that ice. These are
normal sounds necessary
for ice making.
COMPRESSOR: The
compressor on this unit
has a variable speed
motor. This variability
allows the system
to adjust to different
usage needs. This will
introduce speed change
sounds and some
higher pitched humming
sounds that are normal
for the operation of this
type of compressor.
AIRFLOW SOUNDS:
There are a number of
fans in the refrigerator
thatmake airflowsounds
when in operation. The
freezer fan circulates
coot air throughout
the refrigerator. The
refrigerator circulating
fan helps keep
that compartment's
temperature more
uniform. The condenser
fan on top of your
refrigerator is utilized
to remove the heat
generated by the
refrigeration system.
Lastly, the FoodSaver TM
compartments circulate
air to maintain optimum
temperatures.
WATER VALVES: You may detect
a slight buzzing sound under
the refrigerator when water is
requested from the ice dispenser
or when the ice maker needs
water to make ice.
CABINET LEVELING: An unlevel
cabinet may cause rattles and
vibration noises.
