Normal appliance sounds
This wine column has been designed to have excellent energy ratings and cooling
performance. As a result, it can produce sounds somewhat different to your
old appliance.
Normal operational sounds include:
●
●
Low frequency ticking sound. This is the valve that controls cooling to each
compartment. This noise will only last for a few seconds at a time.
●
●
Fan air flow sound. Integrated Columns has fans which change speed depending on
demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate
the cold air in the appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
●
●
Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function
is operating.
●
●
Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard
as a boiling or gurgling noise.
●
●
Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
●
●
Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
–
Floor uneven or weak.
