Normal operating sounds. GEAppliances.com
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.
HUMMM...
WHOOSH...
The new high-efficiency compressor may run faster
and longer than your old refrigerator, and you may hear a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when
the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of
food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments.
The fans are helping to maintain
the correct temperatures.
The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling
and energy savings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and SNAPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when
the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens
as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
The freezer control will click when starting or stopping
the compressor.
Defrost timer snapping in and out of the defrost cycle.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
WATER SOUNDS
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may
make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling,
popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost
cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows
into the drain pan.
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due
to pressure equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
