

Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient,

but is not a sound insulator.

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce

unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate 

your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some 

surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may

make these sounds more noticeable.

During the automatic defrost cycle, you may 

notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall 

of your freezer compartment. This is normal 

during the defrost cycle.

Following is a list of major components in your 

refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
  A  Evaporator Refrigerant through the 

evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling 

sound.

  B  Evaporator fan You may hear air being 

forced through the refrigerator by the 

evaporator fan.

  C  Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water 

dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a 

hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a 

popping sound may occur.

  D  Automatic ice maker When ice has been 

produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into 

the ice bin. The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 

3 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on 

usage conditions.

  E  Automatic defrost control These parts can 

produce a snapping or clicking sound when 

turning the cooling system on and off.

  F  Condenser fan You may hear air being 

forced through the condenser.

  G  Compressor Modern, high-efficiency

compressors run much faster than in the 

past. The compressor may have a high-

pitched hum or pulsating sound.

  H  Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each 

time it opens to fill the ice maker.

  I  Drain pan (not removable) You may hear 

water dripping into the drain pan during the 

defrost cycle.

  J  Condenser May create minimal sounds from 

forced air.
