Understanding the sounds
you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator
may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your refrigerator
is operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may
make these sounds more noticeable.
NOTE
Rigid foam insulation is very energy
efficient, but is not a sound insulator.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

A

E
Following is a list of major components
in your refrigerator and the sounds they
can cause:
A Evaporator Refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air
being forced through the refrigerator
by the evaporator fan.
C Defrost heater During defrost
cycles, water dripping onto the
defrost heater may cause a hissing
or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a
popping sound may occur.
IMPORTANT
During the automatic defrost cycle,
you may notice a red glow in the
vents on the back wall of your freezer
compartment. This is normal during
the defrost cycle.
D Automatic defrost control These
parts can produce a snapping or
clicking sound when turning the
cooling system on and off.
E Compressor Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than in
the past. The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
F Drain pan (not removable) You may
hear water dripping into the drain
pan during the defrost cycle.
