Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following
pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.
HUMMM...
WHOOSH...
The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer
than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum
or pulsating sound while it is operating.
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is
due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens
when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are
opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to
the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and
energy savings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and SNAPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator
is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the
correct temperature.
The freezer control will click when starting or stopping the
compressor.
Defrost timer snapping in and out of the defrost cycle.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after
defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle, you may
hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you
may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after
dispenser button is released.
WATER SOUNDS
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may
make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling,
popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure
equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
