

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.

  E  Electronic 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 If your refrigerator is 

equipped with an automatic ice maker,

you will hear a buzzing sound as the water 

valve opens to fill the ice maker during

each cycle.

  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.

If the Fresh Food door is left open form more than 5 minutes, an alarm will sound. The alarm 

will sound for 2 minutes and then stop. If the “Door Ajar” condition remains, the alarm will 

repeat every 30 minutes for two intervals.
After 15 minutes of a “Door Ajar” Condition, the unit will turn the Fresh Food light off until the 

door is closed. The door switch in the Fresh Food can be pressed and released to reset the 

alarm and light.
