Clicking Noise - Quad Door

Possible Solutions

Clicking Noises

  • If the refrigerator has an ice maker but is not connected to a water supply, the water valve will buzz or click as it tries to fill the ice maker.
  • Check that the ice maker is turned off if the refrigerator is not connected to a water supply.
  • Repetitive clicking can be heard when the dual evaporator valve regulates the cooling operation. You may listen to rapid repetitive clicking sounds as the unit switches from cooling one compartment to cooling the other. This sound is typical.

Turning off the Ice Maker

Depending on the model, there are two different ways to turn the Ice Maker off/on

Style 1 - Ice Maker in Freezer

On the underside of the Ice Maker, there is the ON/OFF switch; "o" is OFF, and "-" is ON

Style 2 - Ice Maker in Refrigerator

Click on the Settings button on the display.  Scroll down to the "Tools/Set Up" section and select "Ice Maker." The display will either show an "On" or "Off" status. 

Is the refrigerator level? 

It is important to ensure the refrigerator is level. A properly leveled refrigerator will help with its proper operation. Check to make sure the floor under the refrigerator is level. If the floor is not level, shims may need to be used to level the refrigerator properly. Please refer to your Owner's Manual or Installation Instructions for specific leveling information for your refrigerator.

  1. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
  2. Using your hand, rotate the brake feet counterclockwise until the rollers are off the floor, and both brake feet are snug against the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the doors.
  3. Use a level to ensure the refrigerator is leveled from side to side and front to back.

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep the refrigerator level. \
