Normal Operating Sounds
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to
provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound
reduction for its internal working components. In spite of
this technology, your model may make sounds that are
unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable
because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as
cabinets, wood/vinyl/tiled floors and paneled walls have a
tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Common refrigeration components, and a brief
description of the normal operating sounds they make,
are listed below.
NOTE:
Your product may not contain all
of the components listed.
• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing
sound that may be heard when it operates.
• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator
may sound like boiling liquid.
• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be
heard.
• Automatic Defrost/Drain Pan: Water may be heard
dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in
the defrost cycle.
• Ice dropping into ice bucket.

Some U-Line models are designed to operate in outdoor,
marine and RV environments. For best performance, keep
the unit out of direct sunlight.
• If the unit will be shut off for five days or more, prop

and mildew.
