Model 795.75544401 This fridge makes a irregular dinging sound. This event has happened 3 times in the last two years. It is not the "open door alarm", rather it is the "changing the temperature" ding. At this time that the fridge "dings", the display for the temperature lights. There in no change in the temperature displayed. The sound can be eliminated by depressing the "Lock" function pad. Why does this fridge ding? The event does not seem to be related to any activity we engage in; it is unpredictable and needless to say, quite annoying. Is it a sensor failure? or perhaps an indication to change the water filter. The Care & Use Guide offers no clues. Thanks for your help.
I found a manual online that can help you diagnose and fix things http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/Refrigerator-Repair-Help
Testimonial: "Thank you for responding. This link does not address my problem, but it does contain a link to purchase replacement parts. I will keep that link for future needs, and I will hope for another post about my problem. Thanks."
also my husband works on fridges he said when is the last you changed the water filter ?? they need to be changed every 6 months sound may have to do with that as well just another option to try to help :)
I wondered about that as a possible source of the ding. Our water is amazingly clean and clear, and so I put off replacing a $50 filter when it isn't really necessary. I will probably replace it anyway in hopes of addressing the problem. Thanks for asking your husband about my problem, Tammy.
The solution to my problem seems to be to unplug the refrigerator for three minutes and then plug it back in. According to another poster, the computer program which runs my fridge has become corrupted in its subroutines and needs to be reset. I did as advised 5 days ago... no dinging. So time will tell. Thanks for your interest and suggestions, TAMMY C.

So It turns out that the temperature ding was triggered by the fact that the freezer was unable to defrost the accumulated ice inside the insulating closed cell foam installed behind the back panel. The foam arrived from the factory with a metal/tin/aluminum foil skin which effectively prevented the defrosting coils from defrosting the closed cell foam.
This design defect triggered a related problem: the frost-free function of the fridge did try to work, but was ineffective in that the defrost coils sensed the reflected heat and shut off. This circumstance resulted in the accumulation of a significant amount of water (ice) in the bottom of the freezer compartment, which grew too large to be contained, and the next cycle of moisture released in to the evaporation depression inside the freezer compartment over flowed the compartment and leaked onto the floor.
$200 later and a service call, my freezer now works correctly. All the tech did was access the panel and peel off the aluminum skin.
