Possible Solutions
Is it gurgling during the cooling cycle?
- A gurgling sound may be heard as the refrigerator shuts off after a cooling cycle, as refrigerant flows through the cooling system tubes.
- A gurgling sound may also be heard when the doors are open and/or closed. This is part of the cooling cycle.
- Both are part of normal operation.
Is it gurgling when opening the doors?
- A gurgling sound may be heard when opening and closing the doors, due to water equalizing in the drain tube as air is forced through it.
- This is part of normal operation.
- This is more common during times of high humidity.
Is it gurgling when water is being dispensed?
- If the water filter was just replaced or installed, ensure that it was installed correctly. If the water filter is not seated properly, it can cause no or low ice production and improper water dispensing. Try removing the water filter and reinstalling it.
- Flushing the system is needed whenever the filter is changed, or when the refrigerator is installed to the water supply line for the first time. Air in the water system may cause dripping at the dispenser, small/hollow ice cubes, or a cloudy appearance in the water.
- A kink in the water source line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line to restore adequate water flow and pressure. To help reduce the chances of a pinched water line, do not push the refrigerator too far back against the wall or cabinet.
