Understanding the sounds you 
may hear
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. 
The 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.  Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and 
refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its
operation.
  E  Electronic control & 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 older models. 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.
  M  Motorized damper  May produce a light 
humming during operation. 
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound
insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back 
wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
