Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new refrigerator may make sourxls that
your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are
new to you, you might be concerned about
them. Don't be. Most of the new sounds are

normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls,

and C2ibinets can make the sounds seem

louder.

The following describes the kinds of

sounds that might be new to you, and what

may be making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor
and moving air.

Ciicking or snapping sounds

The thermostat makes a definite click when
the refrigerator stops running. It also makes
a sound when the refrigerator starts. The
defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle
starts.

Water sounds

When the refrigerator stops running, you
may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few
minutes after it stops. You may also hear
defrost water running into the defrost water
pan.

Ice maker sounds

• trickling water

• thud (clatter of ice)

You may hear buzzing (from the water

valve), trickling water, and the clatter of ice
dumpied into the bin.

Running sounds

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency
compressor and motor. It will run longer than
older designs. It may even seem to run rrxjst
of the time.
