Normal Operating Sounds
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. Water valve 
activation 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.
 
K  Motorized Perfect Temp

damper  May produce a light humming

Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is 
not a sound insulator.

light humming during operation.
