Operating noise
•
The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compression system. To maintain the
pre-set temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the compressor comes
into operation in response to the level of cooling required and may operate continuously if
necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop
in volume after a few minutes.
•
Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing
through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is perfectly normal and does not mean that the
appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be other causes. In this case, check
that:
-
the refrigerator is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the
compressor is in operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate;
-
The drawers, shelves and door boxes are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit
correctly;
-
Bottles and containers on the various shelves are stable and not touching: the vibration
due to operation of the compressor may generate some noise;
Do not place kitchen units or other appliances so that they are touching the refrigerator.
