Crackling (Ice Cracking) Noise:

•  It  is  heard  during  the  automatic  defrosting  process  as  the  ice  which  has  formed  on

the  cooling  coil  melts  and  falls  into  the  drain  trough.

•  Once  the device has been  cooled or heated  (the expansions  and  contractions  of the

actual  product  material).

Short Cracking Noise:

•  It  is  heard  when  the  thermostat  turns  the  compressor  on  and  off.

Compressor Noise:

•  It  is  a  normal  engine  noise.  This  noise  indicates  that  the  compressor  is  operating

normally.

•  As  the  compressor  is  being  energized,  it  might  run  a  bit  more  noisily  for  a  short

period  of  time.

Bubbling and gurgling sound:

•  This  noise  is  emitted  as  the  coolant  fluid  flows  through  the  pipes  within  the  system.

Water flowing sound:

•  This  is  the  normal  sound  of  water flowing  into  the  drain  trough  during  the  defrosting

process.

Air blowing sound:

• It is the normal fan sound. This sound may be heard due to air circulation in No Frost

refrigerators  when  the  system  is  operating  normally.

If the edges of the refrigerator cabinet contacted by the door seal are hot:

• Especially in summer months (in hot weather), there might be warming of the surfaces

contacted  by  the  seal  on  the  refrigerator.    This  is  normal.

If there is moisture on the inner parts of your refrigerator:

•  Has  the  food  been  properly  packaged  and  sealed?  Have  the  containers  been  well

dried  before  they  were  put  into  the  refrigerator?

•  Are  the  doors  of  the  refrigerator  opened  very  frequently?  Once  the  door  is  opened,

the  humidity  found  in  the  air  in  the  room  enters  the  refrigerator.  Especially  if  the
humidity  levels  in  the  room  are  very  high.    The  more  frequently  the  door  is  opened,
the  faster  will  be  the  humidification.

•  It  is  normal  to  have  water  drops  formed  on  the  back  wall  following  the  automatic

defrosting  process  (In  Static  Models).

If the doors are not being properly closed:

•  Are  food  packages  preventing  the  doors  from  being  closed?

•  Have  the  door  compartments,  shelves  and  drawers  properly  placed?

• Are  the door  seals defective  or torn?

•  Is  your  refrigerator  standing  on  level  ground?
