If dispensing ice continuously, dispenser motor is
designed to shut off after 3 to 5 minutes. Motor resets
after 3 minutes and dispensing can continue.
A slight delay occurs when switching between cubed
and crushed modes. Pieces of crushed ice will vary in
size and shape. "Snow" may form on door and ice chute

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. Deepfreeze®control clicks when starting or
stopping compressor.
2. Deepfreeze®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.
7. Ice cubes from ice maker (some models) drop into
ice bucket.
Ice auger (Ice ‘N’ Water™Dispenser models) hums
as auger agitates ice during dispensing. Ice auger is
located in freezer door.
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.
