Normal Operating Sounds - Sears Kenmore 57082 Manual De Instrucciones

Normal Operating Sounds
This new refrigerator may be replacing a differently
designed, less efficient or smaller refrigerator. Today's
refrigerators have new features and are more energy
efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar.
These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar.
These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and
performing as designed.
1. Freezer control clicks when starting or stopping
compressor.
2. Freezer fan air rushes and whirs.
3. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)
refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling
water.
4. Defrost heater sizzles, hisses or pops.
5. Condenser fan air rushes and whirs.
6. Compressor has a high pitched hum or pulsating
sound that cycles on and off.
7. Ice cubes from ice maker (some models) drop into
ice bucket.
Ice auger motor (Ice and water dispenser models) hums
as auger agitates ice during dispensing. Ice auger motor
is located behind ice bucket in freezer section. (Not
shown)
Ice maker water valve hookup (some models) buzzes
when ice maker fills with water. This occurs whether or
not refrigerator is connected to water supply. If
refrigerator is not connected to water supply, stop sound
by raising ice maker arm to off position. Water valve hook
up is located in back, bottom, left hand corner.

Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has excellent
insulating capabilities. However, foam insulation is not as
sound absorbent as previously used fiberglass insulation.
