Normal Operating Sounds

This new refrigerator may be replacing a differently designed, less efficient or smaller refrigerator. Today's refrigerators have new features and are more energy efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar.

These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar. These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and

performing as designed.

1. Deepfreeze ®control clicks when starting or stopping compressor.

2. Deepfreeze ®fan air rushes and whirs.

3. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger) refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling

water.

4. Defrost heater sizzles, hisses or pops.

5. Condenser fan air rushes and whirs.

6. Compressor has a high pitched hum or pulsating sound.

7. Ice cubes from ice maker (some models) drop into ice bucket.

Ice auger (Ice 'N' Water TM Dispenser models) hums as auger agitates ice during dispensing. Ice auger is

located in freezer door. Ice maker water valve hookup (some models)

buzzes when ice maker fills with water. This occurs whether or not refrigerator is connected to water

supply, tf refrigerator is not connected to water supply, stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off position. Water valve hook up is located in back,

bottom, left hand corner.

Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has

excellent insulating capabilities. However, foam insulation is not as sound absorbent as

previously used fiberglass insulation.
