NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older

model.These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter

overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, but were masked by higher sound

levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and

cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder.The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrig-

erator.

DEFROST TIMER: Frost-free

refrigerators have a defrost timer

that will generate a clicking

sound when it cycles the unit into

and out of defrost cycle.

ICE MAKER: (if equipped) The ice maker will

occasionally generate a rattling sound when the

ice cubes are ready to drop down into the ice

bin. Also, the motor that ejects the ice from its

tray prior to dropping the ice may also be

detectable. These are normal sounds necessary

for making ice.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

CONTRACTION AND EX-

PANSION: A popping sound

may occur in the freezer when

the unit starts up due to

contraction or expansion of

the materials in the freezer

area.

REFRIGERANT FLOW: The flow of the

refrigerant in your refrigerator may cause a

gurgling or rattling sound when the unit is

running or just after the unit cycles off. The

refrigerant is still flowing in the tubing.

AIRFLOW SOUNDS: Both the freezer evaporator

fan and the condenser fan at the bottom of the

cabinet will create airflow sounds. The evaporator

fan is circulating the cold air throughout the

refrigerator and freezer compartments. The

condenser fan is removing the heat generated

when the unit is cooled.

WATER VALVE (if equipped): A buzzing

sound may be detected in the back of the

unit when the ice dispenser calls for the

water valve to open to fill the ice maker

tray. Following the ejection of the ice,

there may be some water dripping

sounds when the trays are being filled.

CABINET LEVELING: An unlevel

cabinet may cause rattling or vibrating

noises. This can be fixed by adjusting

the wheels or levelers properly.

COMPRESSOR: In order for a new

refrigerator to run more efficiently, the

refrigeration system may run longer to

keep food at the desired temperatures

for freshness. That new, high

efficiency compressor may run longer

and generate sounds such as a higher

pitched hum or pulsation.
