Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your refrigerator. We’re glad to hear you love the appearance and space provided with your new model, but regret your experience with the sound level. Our newer refrigerators have smaller, more powerful, high-speed compressors that cost less to operate than those in older refrigerators. These compressors are designed to run 80 % to 90% of the time. This makes them more energy efficient because the greatest amount of energy used when the compressor cycles on.

Our newer models also make different sounds, as described in our below link::

If the sound you are hearing is not addressed in our above link or does not sound normal, you may want to schedule service through our authorized service center. Your model comes with a full one year warranty that will cover any manufacturing issue. You can schedule an appointment online at:
