Normal Sounds

Temperature Alarm

Door Ajar Alarm

If the interior temperature is higher than 73°F (23°C), “HI” is shown on the temperature control panel and the 

temperature alarm will sound continuously after one (1) hour. This indicates that the inner temperature is too 

high. If the inner temperature is lower than 32°F (0°C), “LO” is shown on the temperature display panel and 

the temperature alarm will sound continuously after fifteen minutes. If one of these situations occurs please 

reference the troubleshooting section found in this manual or contact Avallon for support. 

This refrigerator includes a door ajar alarm, which will sound if the door is open for more than three (3) minutes. 

Leaving the door open for extended periods of time will cause poor cooling performance and may shorten the 

life of the refrigerator. Keep the door closed as much as possible.

Warning: 

Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!

!

Defrosting

Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. 

However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the 

more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to 

minimize frost build-up. 

If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use 

a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.

Your new refrigerator may make noise during normal operation. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard 

surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.

The following describes several sounds you may hear and what may be making them:

• 

Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the 

refrigerator can also make noises. 

• 

The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

• 

Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.

• 

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

• 

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
