Information about operating noises
To keep the selected temperature constant,
your appliance occasionally switches ON the
compressor.
The resulting noises are quite normal.
As soon as the appliance has reached the
operating temperature, the noises
automatically reduce in volume.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor switches ON,
the noise may briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard when
the thermostat switches ON/OFF the motor.
A clicking noise may occur when
- the automatic defrosting system is active.
- the appliance is cooling down or warming up
(material expansion).
If these noises are excessively loud, the
causes are probably not serious and are
usually very easy to eliminate.
- The appliance is not level - Use the height-
adjustable feet or place packing under the
feet.
- The appliance is not free-standing - Please
move the appliance away from kitchen units
or other appliances.
- Drawers, baskets or shelves are loose or
stick - Please check the detachable
components and, if required, refit them.
- Bottles and/or receptacles are touching each
other - Please move bottles and/or
receptacles away from each other.
