Q8: What sound does the appliance make in normal operation?
The sounds that the appliance produces
when it goes into operation are relatively
loud.
The reason is that due to the power
being put through, the operating
conditions of the appliance are not yet
stable.
When some time has elapsed after
operations are stabilized, the sounds will
then decrease.
The appliance makes a“ ticking” sound
when it starts and shuts down.
This is the sound made when the
compressor is under normal operation.
This is a normal phenomenon, there is
no need for concern.
The appliance makes a scraping sound
when it is working.
Due to temperature changes, the
evaporator and the piping will make
sounds due to thermal expansion and
contraction.
This is a normal phenomenon, there is
no need for concern.
There are sounds of a slight breeze
blowing when the appliance is working.
A fan is at work when the refrigerator is
working.
This is a normal phenomenon, there is
no need for concern.
There are sounds of water flowing when
the appliance is working.
When the liquid refrigerant is flowing
within the evaporator, sounds similar to“
flowing water” are produced.
Such a sound is made in the evaporator
and the compressor generally: when the
refrigerator shuts down and the liquid
working medium reflows, it will make a
continuous or discontinuous sound like
a“ rushing” stream.
This is a normal phenomenon, there is
no need for concern.
There are“ whirring” or“ gurgling” sounds
when the appliance is working.
When the defroster is going through
its cycles, the water which drips onto
the heated wires produces“ hissing” or“
burbling” sounds, and after the defrosting
is completed, some kinds of slight“
crackling” sounds might be made, at
the same time the evaporator produces
some boiling or gurgling sounds.
This is a normal phenomenon, there is
no need for concern.
There are rumbling sounds when the
appliance is working.
a. The ground is not level nor is the
appliance positioned stably.
b. Some part of the refrigerator is in
contact with an external object or the
wall.
a. Place the appliance in another level
location and adjust it so that it is
stable.
b. Move the external object that is
making contact with the appliance,
or move the appliance a certain
distance away from the objects it is
touching.
