Normal operating sounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older
refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features
and use newer technologg.
Do you hear what ! hear? These sounds are normal.
HUMMM,,,
--WHOOSH,,,
[] The new high efficiencg compressor mag run faster
and longer than gour old refrigerator and gou mag
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
[] Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period,
especiallgwhen the doors are opened frequentlg. This
means that the irrostGuardrMfeature is working to prevent
freezer burn and improve food preservation.
[] Youmag hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
Thisis due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKSand CHIRPS
[] You mag hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
[] Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energg savings.
[] The compressor mag cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
[] The electronic control board mag cause a clicking
sound when relags activate to control refrigerator
components.
[] Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
[] On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cgcle,
gou mag hear the ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.
WHIR!
[] You mag hear the fans spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the refrigerator isfirst plugged in,
when the doors are opened frequentlg or when
a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or
freezer compartments. The fans are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
[] If either door is open for over 3 minutes, gou mag hear
the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.
[] The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energg savings.
WATERSOUNDS
6
[] The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils
mag make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
[] Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a
sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost
cgcle.
[] A water dripping noise mag occur during the defrost
cgcle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.
[] Closing the door mag cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.
