TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU

MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your

old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are

new to you, you might be concerned about them.

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

and what may be making them.

• The defrost timer 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 noises may come from the flow of

refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top

of the refrigerator.

• Your refrigerator is designed to run more

efficiently to keep your food items at the desired

temperature.

The high efficiency compressor may cause your

new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and

you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor

circulating the air through the refrigerator and

freezer compartments.

• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling

sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your

refrigerator.

• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls

may cause a popping noise.

• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a

defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

• You may hear air being forced over the

condenser by the condenser fan.

• You may hear water running into the drain pan

during the defrost cycle.
