Normal refrigerator sounds
ActiveSmart™ refrigerators, with their excellent energy ratings and cooling performance, can
produce sounds somewhat different to your old refrigerator.
Normal operational sounds include:
Fan air flow sound. ActiveSmart™ refrigerators have fans which change speed depending on
■ ■
demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate the
cold air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments producing some air flow sound. This is
quite normal.
Cracking or popping which may sound like ice coming off the evaporator. This occurs when the
■ ■
defrost function is operating.
Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard as a boiling
■ ■
or gurgling noise.
An audible 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.
Louder noise on refrigerator start up. This is the sound of the compressor ramping up to speed.
■ ■
It is normal for this sound to occur for less than 1 minute.
Other strange sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
■ ■
– Cabinet not level
– Floor uneven or weak
– Bottles or jars rattling on shelves
