Normal operating sounds.
Depending on the placement of the refrigerator in your kitchen,
you may want to place a piece of rubber backed carpet under the
refrigerator to reduce noise.
The fan circulating air inside the freezer which
keeps the temperatures even.
Boiling water or a gurgling noise. The flow of
refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils.
Sizzling, hissing or popping sound. Water
dropping on the defrost heater during the
defrost cycle.
Cracking or popping sound. Cooling coils
expanding and contracting during the
defrosting cycle.
Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator
and flows to the drain pan during the defrost
cycle.
Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker water valve will buzz when the
icemaker fills with water. If the feeler arm is in
the
ON (down) position it will buzz even if it has
not yet been hooked up to water. Keeping the
feeler arm in the
ON (down) position before it is
hooked up to water can damage the icemaker.
To prevent this, raise the feeler arm to the
STOP
(up) position. This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and
water running in pipes as icemaker refills.
These sounds are normal
and are due mostly to highly
efficient operation.
