„   

The new high efficiency 

compressor may run 

faster and longer than 

your old refrigerator and 

you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound 

while it is operating.

„   

You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. 

This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

Normal operating sounds. 

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use 

newer technology.

„   

You may hear the fans spinning at 

high speeds. This happens when the 

refrigerator is first plugged in, when the 

doors are opened frequently or when 

a large amount of food is added to the 

refrigerator or freezer compartments. The 

fans are helping to maintain the correct 

temperatures.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

„   

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the 

refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator 

cools to the correct temperature.

„   

The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when 

attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).

„   

Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after 

defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

„   

On models with an ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you 

may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS 

„   

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may 

make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

„   

Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, 

popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.

„   

A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice 

melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.

„





   

Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure 

equalization.
