Icemaker (on some models).

Occasionally you will hear ice cubes dropping

into the ice bin. If this is your first icemaker, you’ll hear occasional sounds

that may be unfamiliar. They are normal icemaking sounds and are not a

cause for concern.

Evaporator Fan.

You may hear air being forced through the cabinet by the fan.

Evaporator.

The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a

boiling or gurgling sound.

Defrost Heater.

During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the heater may

cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may

occur and the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

Cold Control & Defrost Timer.

These parts can produce a snapping sound when

turning the refrigerator on or off. The timer also produces a sound similar to

an electric clock.

Plastic Liner.

Cracking or popping sounds due to expansion of the

plastic liner.

Water Valve (on models equipped with an automatic icemaker).

When the

icemaker fills with water, a buzzing sound and running water will be heard.

Water Pan.

Water may be heard running into the maintenance-free drain pan

during the defrost cycle.

Compressor.

Modern, high efficiency compressors operate much faster

than older models. The compressor may have a high pitched hum or

pulsating sound.

Condenser Fan.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the fan.
