Noise
To listen to normal refrigerator sounds, go to the Product Help/FAQ section of the brand website and search for “normal sounds.”
The motor seems to
run too much High efficiency compressor and fans Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more
energy efficient speeds.
The room or outdoor temperature is hot. It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these
conditions. For optimum performance, place the refrigerator in
an indoor, temperature controlled environment. See “Location
Requirements.”
A large amount of warm food has been
recently added. Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the air
cools to the desired temperature.
The door(s) are opened too frequently or for
too long. Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open
the door less often.
The refrigerator door or freezer drawer is
ajar. Make sure the refrigerator is level. See “Door Closing and Door
Alignment.” Keep food and containers from blocking the door.
The refrigerator control is set too cold. Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the
refrigerator temperature is as desired.
The door or drawer gasket is dirty, worn, or
cracked. Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause
the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
The lights do not
work Your refrigerator is equipped with LED
lighting which does not need to be replaced. If there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not
illuminate when a door or drawer is opened, call for service or
assistance.
The dispenser light is set to OFF. On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when a
dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to
stay on continuously, see “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
Doors have been open longer than
10 minutes. Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume
lighted task.
Shelves with under-
shelf LEDs do not
light up (on some
models) Shelf hooks are not fully engaged in shelf
supports. Check that the rear shelf hooks are completely seated into the
slots in the shelf supports.
Shelf supports, fastened to the back wall of
the refrigerator cabinet, are loose. Check all shelf support screws to ensure they are fully
tightend. Tighten all loose screws.
Doors have been open longer than
10 minutes. Close the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume
lighted task.
Pantry Temperature
Control not lit/
unresponsive The refrigerator is in Cooling Off mode. Exit Cooling Off mode. See “Using the Control(s).”
The refrigerator controls’ initialization
process did not complete successfully. Unplug the refrigerator, wait 5 seconds. Plug in the refrigerator,
and wait 30 seconds before opening any of the refrigerator
doors or touching the control panel.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The refrigerator seems
noisy
Below are listed some
normal sounds with
explanations.
The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates
temperature more efficiently while using less energy, and
operates quietly. Due to this reduction in operating noise
you may notice unfamiliar noises that are normal.
Sound of the compressor
running longer than
expected High-efficiency compressor and fans Larger, more efficient refrigerators run
longer at lower, more energy efficient
speeds.
Pulsating/Whirring Fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance during
normal compressor operation This is normal.
Popping Contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during
initial cool-down This is normal.
