Normal Sounds
Your new kegerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they
actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may
be making them.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on
top of the kegerator can also make noises.

The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing or sound.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
kegerator.

Cracking or popping sounds are caused by the expanding and / or contracting of the cooling
coils.
Preparing the Kegerator for Storage
If the kegerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be
necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the unit from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew and unpleasant
smells.
Note:
• Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
Caution: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take
additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the unit!
