5. FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS
Sounds coming from your appliances are normal
since it has a number of fans and engines to
regulate performances that switch on and off
automatically.
Some of the functional sounds can be reduced
through
• Leveling the appliance and installing it on an even
surface
• Separating and avoiding contact between the
appliance and furniture.
• Checking if the internal components are correctly
placed.
• Checking if bottles and containers are not in contact
with each other.
Some of the functional sounds you might hear:
• A hissing sound when switching on the appliance
for the first time or after a long pause.
• A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters into
the pipes.
• Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start
working.
• A cracking sound when compressor starts or when
ready ice drops into ice box abrupt clicks when
compressor switches on and off.
