Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you
might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets,
can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may
be making them.
CONCERN

Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a high
water content should not be placed near the cooling vents.

WHAT TO DO
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a high-speed
compressor which switches on and off during operation.
Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the
on cycle.
These refrigerators are fitted with a variable speed compressor and fan.
At start up and on warm days they run at a higher speed to provide
additional cooling. When less cooling is required the compressor and fan
will run at a lower speed. As a result it is normal for sound levels to
change depending on operating conditions.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching
action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.
Nothing. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans
to circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy
usage or hot weather.
Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions
on P11.
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching
or placed on top of the appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that
they are vibrating (such as bottles).
