Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn�t. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Don�t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder. The followina describes the kinds of sounds that might be iew to you, and what may be making them.

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan and sizzle during defrost cycles.
