•  As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling 

sounds.

Bubbling !

•  As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and expand, creating 

knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or when electronic parts are 
working.

Cracking !

•  For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to fill the ice maker, buzzing sounds may occur.

•  Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may 

occur.
