Sounds
AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
Occasionally you will hear ice
cubes dropping into the ice bin.
D
EVAPORATOR FAN
You may hear air being forced
through the cabinet by the fan.
EVAPORATOR
The flow of refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling
or gurgling sound.
DEFROST HEATER
During defrost cycles, water dripping
onto the heater may cause a hissing
or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a
popping sound may occur.
WATER VALVE
When the ice maker fills with
water, you will hear a buzzing
sound and water running.
II
CONDENSER FAN
You may hear the condenser
fan cycling on and off.
COLD CONTROL & DEFROST TIMER
These parts can produce a snapping
sound when turning the refrigerator
on or off. The timer also produces
sounds similar to an electric clock.
INSULATION
Rigid foam insulation has excellent
insulating capabilities. It is very
energy efficient; however, it does
have a tendency to amplify sound.
_[ COMPRESSOR
Modern, high efficiency compressors
operate much faster than older models.
The compressor may have a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound.
