Your new ice maker may make noise during normal operaon. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard surfaces
like the oor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The following describes several sounds you may hear and what may be making them:
• Raling noises may come from the ow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice
maker can also make noises.
• The high-eciency compressor may make a pulsang or high-pitched sound.
• Water running across the evaporator while making ice may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant owing in your ice maker.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
• During the ice harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of the ice cubes falling into the storage bin.
If the ice maker will not be used for a long me, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to
defrost and clean the unit, and dry the interior.
