Noise

Temperature and Moisture

The door or drawer gasket is dirty,

worn or cracked

Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause

the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired

temperatures.

The lights do not work A light bulb is loose in the socket or

burned out

Tighten or replace the light bulb. See “Changing the Light

Bulbs.”

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 “Connecting

the Water,” 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.
