Trouble-Shooting Guide
Noise
Cooling in a refrigerator-freezing appliance is made possible by cooling the system using a
compressor which will produce certain noise levels. How noisy the appliance is depends on
where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.

During the operation of the compressor the noise of the liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it
has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.

After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may
be louder, which does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance and it has no
influence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually this noise is reduced.

Sometimes unusual and louder noise is heard, which is rather unusual for the appliance.
This noise is often a consequence of inadequate installation.

The appliance must be level and installed on a firm solid base/floor.

It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.

Check the accessories on the interior of the appliance, they should be placed correctly
in their positions; also check, bottles, tins and other vessels are not touching each
other causing rattling and /or vibrations.
