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.
A sudden click can be heard sometimes due
to the timer changing position
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 setting knob 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.

adjustable feet or place packing under the
feet.

move the appliance away from kitchen units
or other appliances.
