NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Newer refrigerators sound dierent from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? ese sounds are normal.

e new high eciency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating� Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently� is means that the Frost Guard™ feature is working to prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation� You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close� is is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator�

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is rst plugged in� is happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature� Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling and energy savings� e compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes)� e electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays 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 ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket�

You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds� is happens when the refrigerator is rst plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments� e fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures� If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs� e fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings�

e ow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water� Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle� A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and ows into the drain pan� Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization�
