Normal operating sounds
The CoolDrawer™ with its excellent energy ratings and cooling performance, can
produce sounds that may be different to your old refrigerator.
Normal operational sounds include:
Fan, airflow sound. The CoolDrawer™ has a fan which circulates air around the drawer
● ●
to provide cooling. This produces some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
– The CoolDrawer™ also has a condenser fan to discharge heat through the
condenser. This also produces some airflow sound. This is normal.
Cracking or popping which may sound like ice breaking or falling. 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 drawer. This is due to the pressure difference
● ●
between the warm air that has entered the drawer and suddenly cooled, and the
outside air pressure.
A humming sound. This is normal as the motor operates for long periods of time. This
● ●
appliance uses an energy efficient, variable speed compressor that saves energy by
running for long periods of time on a low speed. This is more energy efficient than the
conventional on/off method.
Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
● ●
– Floor or cabinetry uneven or weak.
– Bottles or jars rattling.
– Appliance not installed correctly.
