Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
• You will hear a swooshing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water tank for each cycle.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice
maker can also make noises.
• The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water running from the water tank to the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound.
• Water running from the evaporator to the water tank may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. During the harvest cycle, you may
hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice storage bin.
• When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is
programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
