PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
The motor seems to
High efficiency compressor and fans
run too much
The room or outdoor temperature is
hot
A large amount of warm food has been
recently added
The door(s) are opened too frequently
or for too long
The refrigerator door or freezer drawer
is ajar
The refrigerator control is set too cold
The door or drawer gasket is dirty,
worn, or cracked
The lights do not work
A light bulb is loose in the socket or
burned out
The dispenser light is set to OFF
The control is set to Sabbath Mode (on
some models)
PROBLEM
The refrigerator seems
noisy
Below are listed some normal
sounds with explanations.
Sound of the compressor
running longer than expected
Pulsating/Whirring
Popping
Hissing/Dripping
Vibration
Rattling/Banging
Sizzling
Water running/Gurgling
Buzzing
Creaking/Cracking
Ker-plunk
POSSIBLE CAUSES
The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates
temperature more efficiently while using less energy, and
operates quietly. Due to the reduction in operating noise, you
may notice more intermittent noises.
High efficiency compressor and fans
Fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance during
normal compressor operation
Contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial
cool-down
Flow of refrigerant, or flow of oil in the compressor
The refrigerator may not be steady
Movement of the water lines against the refrigerator cabinet,
or of items placed on top of the refrigerator cabinet
Water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle
May be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and
water runs into the drain pan
Heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker
May be heard as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold This is normal
May be heard when the ice falls into the ice storage bin
SOLUTIONS
This is normal. Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer.
It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these
conditions. For optimum performance, place the refrigerator in an
indoor, temperature-controlled environment. See "Location
Requirements."
Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the air
cools to the desired temperature.
Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open the
door less often.
Make sure the refrigerator is level. See "Door Closing and Door
Alignment." Keep food and containers from blocking the door.
Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the
refrigerator temperature is as desired. See "Using the Controls."
Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause the
refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
Tighten or replace the light bulb. See "Changing the Light Bulbs."
On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when a
dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay
on continuously, see "Water Dispenser."
Turn off Sabbath Mode. See "Using the Controls."

Move excess water line away from the
refrigerator cabinet or fasten excess
tubing to the cabinet. See "Connect
the Water Supply," or remove items
from the top of the refrigerator.
