Normal Operating Sounds & Sights
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.
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 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 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.
 
K  Motorized damper May produce a light 
humming during operation.
 
L  Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing 
ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking 
sound when the solenoid opens and closes 
the ice chute.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the 
back wall vents of your freezer compartment is 
normal.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a 
sound insulator.
 
M  Perfect Temp Drawer (some models) 
Fans run intermittently when door is closed 
but turn off when door is opened (except 
when fridge is in Sabbath Mode). Air control
valve may produce a light humming during 
operation.
