Cause
A humming noise is made by the motor (compressor). This noise
can get louder for brief periods when the motor switches on.
A gurgling noise can be heard when the coolant circulates
through the pipes.
Clicking sounds occur whenever the thermostat switches the
motor on or off.
A cracking sound can be heard when materials expand inside
the appliance.
Possible cause and solution
The appliance is uneven. Realign the appliance using a spirit
level, by raising or lowering the screw feet underneath the appli-
ance or place something underneath it.
The appliance is touching another appliance or piece of furni-
ture. Move it away.
Drawers, baskets or shelves are unstable or sticking. Check all
removable items and refit them correctly.
Bottles or containers are touching each other. Separate them.
The transport cable clips are hanging loose at the back of the
appliance. Remove the cable clips.
