Certain noises may be evident

with normal operation of the unit.

Surrounding acoustics like walls,

floors and cabinets may affect the

sound level of your unit.

A gurgling sound or running

water sound may be evident as

the refrigerant circulates through

the tubing.

During the icemaker cycle, you

may hear the sound of ice

dropping into the bucket or the

solenoid valve while refilling the

icemaker with water.

During the freezer defrost, you

may hear crackling and/or

sizzling as the heat from the

defrost element clears the frost

from the freezer coil and water

runs into the defrost water pan.

While the compressor is in

operation, a slight hum might be

evident. During the startup and

shutdown of the compressor,

some vibration may occur lasting

only a few seconds.

249FFI is fully automatic and

has been factory pretested. To
