Noise

To listen to normal refrigerator sounds, go to the Product Help/FAQ section of the brand website and search for “normal sounds.” 

High efficiency compressor and fans

Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more 
energy efficient speeds. 

The room or outdoor temperature is 
hot. 

It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these 
conditions. For optimum performance, place the refrigerator 
in an indoor, temperature controlled environment. See 
“Location Requirements.”

A large amount of warm food has 
been recently added. 

Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the 
air cools to the desired temperature. 

The door(s) are opened too frequently 
or for too long.

Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. 
Open the door less often. 

The refrigerator door or freezer drawer 
is ajar.

Make sure the refrigerator is level. See “Door Closing and 
Door Alignment.” Keep food and containers from blocking 
the door. 

The refrigerator control is set too cold.

Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the 
refrigerator temperature is as desired. 

The door or drawer gasket is dirty, 
worn, or cracked.

Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause 
the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired 
temperatures. 

Your refrigerator is equipped with LED 
lighting which does not need to be 
replaced. 

If there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not 
illuminate when a door or drawer is opened, call for service 
or assistance.

The dispenser light is set to OFF

On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when 
a dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light 
to stay on continuously, see “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

Doors have been open longer than 
10 minutes

Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume 
lighted task. 

Shelf hooks are not fully engaged in 
shelf supports

Check that the rear shelf hooks are completely seated into 
the slots in the shelf supports. 

Shelf supports, fastened to the back 
wall of the refrigerator cabinet, are 
loose

Check all shelf support screws to ensure they are fully 
tightend. Tighten all loose screws. 

The refrigerator is in Cooling Off mode

Exit Cooling Off mode. See “Using the Control(s).”

The refrigerator controls’ initialization 
process did not complete 
successfully. 

Unplug the refrigerator, wait 5 seconds. Plug in the 
refrigerator, and wait 30 seconds before opening any of the 
refrigerator doors or touching the control panel. 

Below are listed some normal 
sounds with explanations.

The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates 
temperature more efficiently while using less energy, and 
operates quietly. Due to this reduction in operating noise 
you may notice unfamiliar noises that are normal. 

Sound of the compressor 
running longer than expected

High-efficiency compressor and fans

Larger, more efficient refrigerators run 
longer at lower, more energy efficient 
speeds. 

Pulsating/Whirring

Fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance 
during normal compressor operation

This is normal.

Popping

Contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during 
initial cool-down

This is normal.

Hissing/Dripping

Flow of refrigerant, or flow of oil in the compressor 

This is normal.
