Normal noises What causes them?
Brrrrr... A humming noise is made by the motor (compressor). This
noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor
switches on.
Blub, blub.... A gurgling noise can be heard when the coolant circulates
through the pipes.
Click.... Clicking sounds occur whenever the thermostat switches the
motor on or off.
Sssrrrrr.... In multi-section and frost-free appliances, the movement of
air circulating through the appliance can sometimes just
barely be heard.
In appliances with a water tank, a humming noise can be
heard when the water pump is running.
Crack... A cracking noise can be heard when the appliance materials
expand.
Please bear in mind that a certain amount of noise is unavoidable (from the
compressor and the coolant circulating through the system).
