• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Turning control to “0” position does not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Mains lead replacement
If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special lead which is obtainable from your local dealer. A charge will be made for the replacement of the mains lead if you have damaged the lead.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Set the Temperature Controls (appearance may vary)
Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
At first, set both the fresh food control and the freezer control to “5.” Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether you are
setting the controls for the first time or adjusting them later. Then, if you want colder or warmer temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls one step at a time.
NOTE: Moving the freezer control to the “0” position turns off cooling in both compartments—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
Ambient Room Temperature Limits How to Test Temperatures
This refrigerator is designed to operate in ambient temperatures specified by its Temperature Class which is marked on the rating plate.
Temperature Symbol Ambient Temperature Class
Maximum Minimum
Extended­Temperate SN 32°C 10°C
Temperate N 32°C 16°C Subtropical ST 38°C 18°C Tropical T 43°C 18°C
NOTE: Internal temperature may be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerator, ambient temperature and frequency of door openings. Adjust temperature controls as required to compensate for these factors.
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf in the fresh food compartment. Check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the freezer compartment. Check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.
Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.

REFRESHMENT CENTER

(on some models)
4
Refreshment Center Compartment
The Refreshment Center Compartment stores frequently used items. When open, the Refreshment
Center door provides a convenient work surface. Although durable, the work surface should not be used as a cutting board. Close the door when finished. The upper fresh food compartment light will come on when the Refreshment Center door is opened.
The special design of the door allows you to tilt and lift up the entire door in order to clean the bottom of the frame.
NOTE: Use caution in closing or using the clean-out feature in the presence of small children.
Cold air entering from the freezer compartment keeps the temperature in the Refreshment Center Compartment at proper food­keeping levels.
The bin panel limits the amount of cold air that escapes when the Refreshment Center door is opened. To reach food from the inside, lift the panel up.
To remove the Refreshment Center bin, first remove the panel using the hand holds.
Then remove the bin by lifting it up and out.

The system alerts you when something starts to go wrong. If a diagnostic code appears on the display, something needs
special attention. The display code flashes until you erase it. The first
6 flashes are accompanied by beeps.
If more than one coded function requires attention at the same time, the most important one will be displayed first.
This pad evaluates all other coded functions. If the
display is lit during the displaying of a code, that
function is operating properly. This pad is lighted
except when a failure has been detected.
This pad has two functions:
1. It reviews the diagnostic codes.
2. It erases two codes—
PF and CI. The dE and FF codes can only be erased after the condition that caused the code to flash has been corrected.
How to Set the Door Alarm Why the Warm Temperature Light Glows
You don’t have to set the visual alarm.
As long as either door is open, this pad flashes.
When the Door Alarm pad is glowing, the beeper alarm is set. Touch the pad to turn it on or off.
If either door is open for more than 30 seconds, the control beeps.
The light goes out and the beeping stops when you close the door.
At first, it’s probably because your newly installed refrigerator hasn’t completely cooled down yet. Wait a few hours for it to cool, and then the light will go out.
From then on, the pad will glow whenever temperatures inside get too high for proper food storage. If this happens, open the doors only when absolutely necessary, and close them as quickly as possible.
As soon as inside temperatures return to normal, the light goes out. If the Warm Temperature light reappears and stays on for longer than
4 hours, call for service.

Electronic Monitor Automatic Icemaker

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

How The Icemaker Works
Your icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle—approximately
120 cubes in a 24-hour period—depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
If you use your refrigerator before the water connection is made, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is in the (up) position. When the water supply has been connected to the icemaker, move the feeler arm to (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about 24 hours for the freezer compartment to get cold enough to make ice.
Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes (16 or 24 cubes). This will flush away any impurities in the water line. Do the same thing after vacations or extended periods when ice isn’t used.
To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes occasionally.
When cubes fall into the bin they may pile up close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the (up) position before the bin gets full. Keeping the cubes level allows the icemaker to fill the bin.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of 8, and it is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
Move Feeler Arm to (up) Position When…
• Home water supply is to be turned off for several hours.
• Ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time.
• Going away on vacation, at which time you should also turn off the valve in the water supply line to your refrigerator.
• Moving the freezer control to the “0” position.
If This Is Your First Icemaker…
You’ll hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. These are normal icemaking sounds and are not cause for concern.
If Ice Is Not Used Often…
‘‘Old’’ ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to allow storage bin to cool before replacing it—otherwise ice cubes may stick to other parts of the icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take up to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Feeler arm in (up) position stops icemaking
Feeler arm in (down) position begins icemaking

ICE AND WA TER DISPENSER

8
To Dispense Ice and Water
• Select:
water (on some models),
ice cubes,
or crushed ice (on some models).
• Grip the glass or other container near the rim and press the rim against the center of the pad.
• After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute. The spill shelf is not self-draining. The shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly according to the Care and Cleaning instructions.
WATER CRUSHED CUBED ICE
LIGHT
OFF ON
Crushed Ice Water
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected .
This happens occasionally when a few cubes get channeled to the crusher.
• Sometimes a mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute.
This condition is normal, and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.
• Sometimes crushed ice will spray beyond the glass. To avoid this,
hold the glass up close to the chute.
• On models with a water dispenser, if no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser pad for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system.
• The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following ones. This is normal.
• Dispensed water is cool, not iced. For colder water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or other objects into the dispenser opening.
To Remove Ice Storage Bin To Replace Ice Storage Bin
Lift the left corner to free the bin from the shelf. Pull the bin straight out while supporting it at front and back.
Slide the bin back until the tab on the bin locks into the slot in the shelf.
If the bin does not go all the way back, remove it and turn the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the bin back again until the tab on the bin locks into the slot in the shelf.
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
• If this is your first icemaker you’ll hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. These are normal icemaking sounds and are not
cause for concern.
• Your icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period—depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
• Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal. If ice flow interruption is more than brief, ice clump(s) may be the cause and should be removed following instructions in this section.
• Avoid over-filling glasses with ice and using narrow or extra-tall glasses. This can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to
freeze shut. Periodically open the freezer compartment door and look down into the chute. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
• To help keep bits of ice from being sprayed beyond the glass,
place the glass close to the ice chute—but not so close that it blocks out-coming ice.
• Add ice before adding beverage to prevent splashing.
• Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may
cause the icemaker or auger to jam.
• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
CAUTION: Some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.

STORAGE DRAWERS

9
Ice and Water Dispenser Storage Drawers
Convertible Drawer (on some models) Adjustable Humidity Drawers (on some models)
Refrigerator foods can be stored at colder temperatures by using the convertible drawer.
The convertible drawer has its own cold air duct to allow a stream of cold air from the freezer compartment to flow around the drawer.
The variable temperature control regulates the air flow from the freezer compartment. Set the control lever up to convert the drawer to normal refrigerator temperature and provide extra vegetable storage space. The cold air duct is closed.
Push the control lever down to open the cold air duct and make the convertible drawer colder. The amount of freezer air allowed in can be varied by adjusting the control lever between the normal and coldest setting.
These drawers have individual, adjustable humidity controls that let you regulate the amount of moisture retained in foods.
Slide the control all the way to the setting and the drawer provides high humidity recommended for most vegetables.
Slide the control all the way to the setting to provide lower humidity levels recommended for most fruits.
Sealed Snack Pack (on some models)
The Sealed Snack Pack—and shelf to which it is attached—can be relocated within the Fresh Food compartment. The sealed drawer retains sufficient humidity for convenient storage of lunch meats, cheese, hors d’oeuvres, spreads and snacks.
Normal setting
Coldest setting
(on some models)
(on some models)
Storage time will depend upon the type of food and its condition when placed in the drawer. Excess water which may accumulate in the bottom of the drawer should be poured out and the drawer wiped dry. The drawer is partially sealed by gaskets.
Always push the drawer all the way in.
As in any refrigerated storage area, it is recommended that odorous foods be stored wrapped.

SHELVES

Swing Down Shelf (on some models) Quick Space Shelf (on some models)
10
This swing-down shelf provides extra shelf space when needed. When you want to use it, pull
the shelf forward as far as it goes, then lower it.Be careful not to force it down before it is pulled out all the way.
To raise it back into position, pull the shelf forward, push it up and slide it back fully until it stops.
This shelf splits in half and slides under itself for storage of tall items on the shelf below.
Slide-Out Spillproof Shelves (on some models)
The slide-out shelf allows you to reach items stored behind others. The special edges are designed to help prevent spills from dripping to lower shelves. Make sure you push them all the way back in before you close the door.
How to Rearrange Your Shelves
The shelves in the fresh food compartment are adjustable, enabling you to make efficient shelf arrangements to fit your family’s food storage needs.
To remove shelves:
Tilt the shelf up at front, then lift it up and out of the tracks on the rear wall of the refrigerator.
(shelf appearance may vary)
To relocate shelves:
Select desired shelf height. With shelf front raised slightly, engage the top hooks in the tracks at the rear of the cabinet. Then lower the front of the shelf until it locks into position.
Wire shelves (on some models) are adjustable in the same manner.
Bins on Fresh Food Compartment Door
(on some models) Adjustable bins can easily be carried from the refrigerator to your
work area. On models with a Refreshment Center Compartment all except
the top bin can be relocated on the fresh food compartment door. The top bin is removable, but it must be returned to its original position on the door.
To remove:
Lift bin straight up until mounting hooks disengage.
To replace or relocate:
Select desired shelf height, engage bin’s hook in slots on the tracks of the door, and push in. Bin will lock in place.
The divider (on some models), helps prevent tipping, spilling or sliding of small items stored on the door shelf.
Place index finger and middle finger on either side of the divider near the front and simply move it back and forth to fit your needs.

Quick ServeTMSystem (on some models)
These cooking-serving-storage dishes with durable lids are on an under-the-shelf rack.
These dishes can be removed from and returned to the rack as needed. The rack can be relocated anywhere in the fresh food compartment.
Dishes and lids are safe for use in microwave ovens, refrigerators, freezers, and are dishwasher-safe. The dishes should not be used for cooking high-fat foods such as bacon and high-sugar foods such as candy and syrup. The high temperatures of the fat and sugar can cause bubbles to form on the inside of the dish.
CAUTION: Dishes and lids are not designed for use in the regular oven, on the range-top or in the broiler. Such use can be hazardous.
Removable Wine Rack (on some models)
11
The wine rack is designed to hold a bottle on its side and will fit on any shelf.
To relocate the wine rack:
Pull wine rack straight out. Then position its lip over either edge of the shelf you want to suspend it from and push it all the way in.
Freezer Baskets (on some models) Juice Can Rack (on some models)
Wire slide-out freezer baskets can be pulled out for easy access to frozen foods.
WARNING: Poor performance may occur if freezer baskets are not used. Storage of items in the freezer without using baskets may result in poor temperature performance due to restrictions of air flow within the freezer compartment.
Cans of frozen juice are easily accessible when stored in the rack on the freezer compartment door.
To load it, place the first can in the bottom of the rack. Then load additional cans into the rack from the top.

Multi-Position Shelves in Freezer Compartment (on some models)
Shelf supports at various levels in the freezer compartment let you reposition the shelves from time to time to better accommodate your variable inventory of frozen foods.
To reposition shelves:
1. While pressing tabs on shelf
supports on right wall, lift shelf out of grooves in supports.
2. Pull shelf sideways until the
shelf rods come out of holes on left wall.
3. Select desired shelf height and
insert shelf rods into holes on left wall. Lower shelf into grooves on support while pressing tabs. Be sure shelf wire is fully inserted into grooves.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Shelves Freezer Compartment
Loading the Freezer Compartment
Load so that at least 15 mm of space remains clear between stacks of packages and 15 mm to 25 mm of space between the top of any stack and any shelf or basket above it. Packages may hang over the front of shelves but must remain 15 mm from doors.
• Food to be frozen must not be placed in direct contact with food in
storage. If food is to be frozen every day, it may be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen.
• If a quantity of food needs to be frozen set the freezer control to its
coldest setting. After the food is frozen reset the freezer control to its initial position.
• Food is most quickly frozen on the middle three shelves of the
freezer compartment and most slowly in the freezer door shelves.
• Do not store commercially quick-frozen food longer than the time recommended by the food manufacturers.
• If the power to the appliance is shut off for an extended time or if the refrigerating system fails, do not open the doors unless absolutely necessary. When it is necessary, close them as quickly as possible so the frozen food will stay frozen as long as possible.
• The freezer door storage shelves marked with a two-star label are only appropriate for the storage of previously frozen food.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
(continued)
Cleaning—Inside
Refreshment Center Compartment door—inside. Wipe up spills
right away. Use 15 ml of baking soda in one liter of water to clean the inside door surface, Refreshment Center bin and inside access door. Rinse, wipe dry.
Inside the fresh food and freezer compartments should be cleaned at least once a year. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about 15 ml of baking soda to one liter of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odor. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets, meat and vegetable drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic parts—can be cleaned the same way. After cleaning door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape. If the freezer baskets don’t slide freely after cleaning, lubricate them with petroleum jelly. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of bakingsoda in the rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf. Change the box every three months. An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.
Quick Serve
TM
dishes (on some models) and lids can be cleaned
in an automatic dishwasher or by hand with liquid dishwashing detergent and water. You can remove stains by soaking them in a bleach and water solution—1 part chlorine bleach to 3 parts water. (Stubborn stains may require soaking.) Use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on soil. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
Drain opening in the freezer compartment. During yearly cleaning,
remove bottom freezer basket and flush a baking soda solution—5 ml of baking soda and 500 ml of hot (not boiling) water—through the drain line with the help of a meat baster. This will help eliminate odor and reduce the likelihood of a clogged drain line.
If drain becomes clogged, use a meat baster and baking-soda-and-water solution to force the clog through the drain line.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.
CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning—Outside
Refreshment Center Compartment door—outside. It’s important
that you use only window cleaner without ammonia or a damp cloth to clean the glass and trim. Avoid using wax on the Refreshment Center door.
The ice and water dispenser spill shelf should be wiped dry immediately to prevent spotting. Water left on the shelf may leave deposits that you can remove by soaking in undiluted vinegar.
You can also use a paste of non-precipitating water softener and water, or 5 ml of citric acid powder per 500 ml of hot tap water. Soak until the deposit disappears or becomes loose enough to rinse away. Usually 30 minutes soaking time is adequate. Avoid using wax on the spill shelf and trim.
The dispenser pad can be cleaned by using a warm water and baking soda solution—about 15 ml of baking soda to one liter of water. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
The door handles can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with a solution of mild liquid dishwashing detergent and water. Dry with a soft cloth. Don’t use wax on the door handles with metal trim.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish. The outside of the refrigerator has a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will stay new­looking and rust-free for years. Apply kitchen/appliance wax when the refrigerator is new and then at least twice a year.
Deep Door Shelves in Freezer Compartment (on some models)
To remove the shelf fronts: Lift straight up until the
mounting hooks come out of the slots in the door. To replace: Line up the hooks with the slots in the door
and push in and down.
For easier cleaning you can remove the shelf fronts in the freezer compartment.

Under Refrigerator Behind Refrigerator

For most efficient operation, you need to keep the area under the refrigerator clean. Turn the temperature control to “0”. Remove the base grille. Sweep away or vacuum dust that is readily accessible on the condenser coils, then turn the control back on.
For best results, use a brush specially designed for this purpose, available at most appliance parts stores. This easy cleaning operation should be done at least once a year.
Care should be taken in moving your refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces. Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line (on some models).
(continued next page)
Clean the condenser coils at least once a year.
Freezer Compartment Care and Cleaning

Drawer Removal

Drawers will stop before coming all the way out of refrigerator to help prevent contents from spilling onto floor. Drawers can easily be removed by tilting up slightly and pulling past “stop” location.
On some models you may need to remove the door bins from the fresh food door before removing the drawers.
If the door prevents you from taking out the drawers, the refrigerator will need to be rolled forward until the door opens enough to slide the drawers out. In some cases when you roll the refrigerator out you will need to move the refrigerator to the left as you roll it out.

Care and Cleaning Preparation
When You Go on Vacation When You Move
For extended vacations or absences, shut off the power to the
refrigerator, move the control to the “0” position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of 15 ml of baking soda to one liter of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator. Leave doors open.
Move icemaker feeler arm to (up) position, which stops icemaking, and be sure to shut off water supply to the refrigerator.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave controls at
regular settings. However, if room temperature is expected to drop below 16°C, follow the same instructions as for extended vacations.
Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and storage pans by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during actual moving and in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement. Protect outside of refrigerator with blanket.

Rollers

Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. These rollers should be set so that the refrigerator rests firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will close automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet. Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely.
To adjust rollers, remove the base grille by grasping it at the bottom and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use adjustable wrench (3/8
² hex head bolt)
or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers for proper door closure, we recommend that the bottom front edge of the cabinet be approximately 16 mm from the floor.
To replace the base grille, align prongs on back of grille with clamps in cabinet and push back until the grille snaps into place.

Water Supply to Icemaker (on some models)

If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold drinking (potable) water line.
A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the icemaker inlet to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately 2.5 m of 1/4² copper tubing in three 25 cm diameter coils).
Do not use kits with plastic tubing since there is water pressure in the supply line at all times.
Maximum permissible inlet water pressure—8.3 bars. Minimum permissible inlet water pressure—1.4 bars. Installation of icemaker must be made by a qualified service technician.

IMPORTANT: Fitting a Different Plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow-Earth; Blue-Neutral; Brown-Live. If you fit your own plug the colours of these wires may not correspond with the identifying marks on the plug terminals. This is what you have to do:
1. Connect the green and yellow
(Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ with the symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire
to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to
the terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
If the plug is the moulded-on type the fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest Service Centre or local Electricity Board. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or insert in the base of the plug.
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied with this refrigerator a 13A ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 must be fitted.
With an alternative plug a 15A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adapter or the main fuse box.

• Grille and condenser need cleaning. Refer to Care and Cleaning section.
MOTOR STARTS AND • Temperature control starts and stops motor to maintain even temperatures. STOPS FREQUENTLY
VIBRATION OR RATTLING • If refrigerator vibrates, more than likely it is not resting solidly on the floor.
The front leveling legs need adjusting, or floor is weak or uneven. Refer to Rollers in Preparation section.
• If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving them. Slight vibration is normal.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

These sounds are normal and do not indicate a need for service.
The new high efficiency compressor runs faster and will have a higher pitch hum or pulsating sound while operating.
Sizzling sound in the freezer during the defrost cycle, caused by frost thawing and draining.
Defrost timer and refrigerator control click on and off. The fan circulating air inside the freezer which keeps the
temperatures throughout. Water dropping on the defrost heater causing a sizzling,
hissing or popping sound during the defrost cycle. The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling
coils sounds like boiling water or a gurgling noise. Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion
and contraction during defrost and refrigeration following defrost. Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator
and flows to the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
Icemaker (on some models):
The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the feeler arm is in the (down) position it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. Keeping the feeler arm in the (down) position before it is hooked up to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, raise the feeler arm to the (up) position. This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as icemaker refills.
