

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  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.
