PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
The refrigerator seems
noisy
Below are listed some normal
sounds with explanations.
The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates
temperature more efficiently while using less energy, and
operates quietly. Due to the reduction in operating noise you
may notice more intermittent noises.
Sound of the compressor
running longer than expected
High efficiency compressor and fans
This is normal. Larger, more efficient
refrigerators run longer.
Pulsating/Whirring
Fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance during
normal compressor operation
This is normal
Popping
Contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during
initial cool-down
This is normal
Hissing/Dripping
Flow of refrigerant, or flow of oil in the compressor
This is normal
Vibration
The refrigerator may not be steady
Adjust the leveling screws and lower
the leveling foot firmly against the
floor. See “Door Closing and Door
Alignment.”
Rattling/Banging
Movement of the water lines against the refrigerator cabinet,
or of items placed on top of the refrigerator cabinet
Move excess water line away from the
refrigerator cabinet or fasten excess
tubing to the cabinet. See “Connect
the Water Supply,” or remove items
from the top of the refrigerator.
Sizzling
Water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle
This is normal
Water running/Gurgling
May be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and
water runs into the drain pan
This is normal
Buzzing
Heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker
This is normal
Creaking/Cracking
May be heard as ice is being ejected from the ice maker
mold
This is normal
Ker-plunk
May be heard when the ice falls into the ice storage bin
This is normal
