PERATING

OUNDS

Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not
present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food,
is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were
present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that
the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even
louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.

SOUND

Clicking

Air rushing
or whirring

Gurgling or
boiling sound

Thumping

Vibrating
noise

Buzzing

Humming

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Freezer control (A) clicks when starting or

stopping compressor.

• Defrost timer or electric damper control (select

models) (B) sounds like an electric clock and
snaps in and out of defrost cycle.

• Condenser fan (D) makes this noise while

operating.

• Freezer fan (C) makes this noise while

operating.

• Freezer fan (C) slows to a stop as the freezer

door is opened.

• Evaporator (E) and heat exchanger (F)

refrigerant make this noise when flowing.

• Ice cubes from ice maker drop into ice bucket (G).

• Dispenser ice chute (H) closing.

• Compressor (I) makes a pulsating sound while

running.

• Refrigerator is not level.

• Ice maker water valve (J) hookup buzzes when

ice maker fills with water.

• Ice maker (K) is in the ‘on’ position without

water connection.

• Ice auger (L) hums as auger agitates ice during

dispensing.

• Compressor (I) can make a high pitched hum

while operating.

• Solenoid valve (M) operating ice chute door.

SOLUTION

• Normal operation

• See Leveling (see page 9).

• Normal operation

• Stop sound by raising ice maker arm

to OFF position. See Automatic Ice
Maker, page 17 for details.

• Normal operation
