Troubleshooting and error codes
| SOUNDS/OBSERVATIONS | CAUSES |
|---|---|
| Hum or hiss | The refrigerator's fan motor and moving air. |
| Clicking or snapping sounds | The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts and stops. |
| Running sounds | The high-efficiency compressor and motor will run longer than older designs. |
| Trickling water/ water sounds | During the defrost cycle, the refrigerator will not be running. The trickling water is the frost accumulation on the freezer coil melting and running into the defrost pan. When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes. |
