Refrigerator
seems noisy
The compressor in your new refrigerator
regulates temperature
more efficiently
and uses less
energy than older models. During various stages of operation,
you may hear normal operating
sounds that are unfamiliar.
The following
noises are normal:
•
Buzzing/Clicking
- Heard when the water valve opens and closes to dispense water or fill the
ice maker. If the refrigerator
is connected to a water line, this is normal. If the refrigerator
is not
connected to a water line, turn off the ice maker.
•
Repetitive Clicking - Dual evaporator
valve regulating the cooling operation.
•
Cracklng/Clatter
- Heard when ice is ejected from the ice maker mold and then falls into the
ice storage bin.
•
Popping - Heard when the inside walls contract/expand,
especially during initial cooldown.
•
Hissing/Dripping
- Flow of refrigerant,
or flow of oil in the compressor.
•
Pulsating/Whirrlng
- Heard when the fans/compressor
adjust to optimize performance
during
normal operation.
•
Rattling - Heard when water passes through the water line, or due to the flow of refrigerant.
Rattling may also come from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
•
Water running or gurgling
- Heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into
the drain pan.
•
Sizzling
- Heard
when water
drips onto
the heater
during
the defrost
cycle.
•
Vibration
- The refrigerator
may not be steady. Adjust the leveling screws and lower the
leveling foot until it is firmly against the floor. See "Refrigerator
Leveling, Door Closing and
Alignment."
Temperature is too warm
New installation
- Following installation,
allow 24 hours for the refrigerator
and freezer to cool
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature
control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either
compartment
(refrigerator
or freezer) more quickly.
Cooling is turned off - Turn on cooling. See "Using the Control(s)."
Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows warm air to enter the
refrigerator.
Minimize
door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors
are properly sealed.
Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately
in front of the vents.
Large amount of warm food recently added - Allow several hours for the refrigerator
to return
to its normal temperature.
Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a colder
setting. Check the temperature
again in 24 hours.
Temperature is too cold in
the refrigerator/crisper
Temperature
is too warm/
cold in the exterior
drawer
