Normal refrigerator sounds
ActiveSmart™ refrigerators are designed to have excellent energy ratings and
cooling performance. As a result, it 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 sounds. This may occur when the automatic 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.
Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
● ●
Gasket noises which can normally occur over time due to a build up of dirt and/or
● ●
grime. See 'Cleaning care, Exterior' section.
