UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator might produce certain noises that your previous refrigerator did not. It is normal if you worry.
Most of the new sounds you will be hearing are actually normal and expected. Hard surfaces like walls or floor can
increase sounds and make them sound louder than they really are. The following list has a description of such sounds
along with their causes.
•
The thawing timer will make a “click” sound when such
timer will start and finish. Temperature controlling
device will also make a “click” sound at the beginning
and ending of the refrigerator cycle.
•
You will hear a bell sound caused by the flow of the
refrigerant, water pipe or objects located on the superior
part of the refrigerator.
•
Your refrigerator is designed to work efficiently to
preserve your food at the desired temperature using
the least of energy. You will be able to hear a pulsing
sound coming from the ventilators and the evaporator.
The speed of the ventilator can speed up when you
open the refrigerator door.
•
After each cycle you will hear a dripping sound due to
the refrigerant liquid in your refrigerator.
•
Contraction and expansion of the inner walls can cause
a slight popping sound.
•
You will hear a dripping sound caused during the
thawing cycle.
•
During the defrosting cycle the water might cause a
dripping sound.
•
You can hear some tight air sound over the capacitor
caused by the fan.
•
Running water can be heard during the defrosting
cycle.

Due to its low energy consumption design of the
refrigerator; the fans will remain of, while the on-off
switch activated the internal light of bin.
