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.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators
have more features and use newer technology.
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.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
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 compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound
when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
On models with an ice maker, after an ice making
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice
bucket.
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.
Normal operating sounds.
