ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS 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. 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. ¿ 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. ¿ On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after dispenser button is released. ¿ 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. WATER ¿ The flow of refrigerant through the 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. If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal position for any period of time, wait 24 hours after returning it to the upright position before plugging it in. IMPORTANT During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of your freezer compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle. 49-60782 17
