Normal appliance sounds
Integrated Refrigerators and Freezers have been designed to have excellent energy ratings
and cooling performance. As a result, it can produce sounds somewhat different to your
old appliance.
Low frequency
ticking
This is the valve that controls cooling to each compartment. This noise will only last
for a few seconds at a time.
Fan air flow
This product has fans which change speed depending on demand. During cooling
periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate the cold air in the
appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
Cracking or
popping
This may occur when the automatic defrost function is operating.
Running water
This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard
as a boiling or gurgling noise.
Hissing sound
after closing the
freezer door
This is due to the pressure difference between the warm air that has entered the
cabinet and suddenly cooled, and the outside air pressure.
Humming
This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
Ice maker noises
Motor operation (low humming).
Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
Loosened from the ice molding tray (cracking).
Ice dropping into bin (clunking).
Other sounds
Cabinet not stable or level.
Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
