Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfa-

miliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your re-

frigerator 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 refriger-

ator 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 turn-

ing 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 Select Temp drawer damper May produce a 

light humming during operation.

L Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing ice, you will 

hear a snapping, clicking, or popping sound when the sole-

noid opens and closes the ice chute.

M Motorized damper May produce a light humming during 

operation.

N Select Temp drawer fan Turns off when door opens or 

Select Temp drawer is turned off.

Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound 

insulator.

During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall 

vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
