The motor seems to run too much Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is opened often, or if the door has been left open. The refrigerator seems noisy Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations. ■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance. ■ Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator. ■ Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down. ■ Water running/dripping - may be heard when ice melts during defrosting and water runs into the drain pan. 11
