NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Newer refrigerators produce different sounds than older models. Modern refrigerators have more
features and use newer technology.
¿Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
HMMMM...
WHOOSH...
The new high-efficiency compressor can run
faster and last longer than your old refrigerator
and you can hear a high-pitched hum or a
pulsating sound while operating.
You can hear a blowing sound when the doors
are closed. This is because the pressure is stabi-
lizing inside the refrigerator
SNAPS, BUZZLES,
CRACKS, GURGLES
You can hear sounds like crunching or popping
when the refrigerator is first switched on. This
happens as the refrigerator cools down to the
correct temperature.
The electronic controllers open and close to
provide optimal cooling and save energy. The
compressor may cause a snap or gurgle when it
tries to restart (this can take up to 5 minutes).
The electronic control panel may cause a
clicking sound when the relay is activated to
control the refrigerator components.
Expansion and contraction of the coils during or
after the defrost cycle can cause crackling or
popping sounds.
On models with an ice maker, after completing
an ice making cycle, you can hear the ice cubes
fall into the ice tray.
¡WHIR!
You can hear the fans moving at high speed.
This happens when the refrigerator is first
turned on, when the doors are opened
frequently or when a large amount of food is
stored in the refrigerator or freezer compart-
ments. The fans are helping to maintain the
right temperatures.
If any of the doors remain open for more than 3
minutes, you can listen to the fans to cool the
light bulbs.
Fans change speed to provide optimal cooling
and save energy
WATER SOUNDS
The fluid of the refrigerant through the coils
can produce a bubbling sound like boiling
water.
Water falling into the defrost heater can cause
a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the
defrost cycle.
A sound of falling water can be heard during
the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evapora-
tor and flows into the drain pan.
Closing the doors may produce a gurgling
sound due to pressure stabilization.
