Condensation in the vegetable compartment.
Sometimes the running sound gets louder.
A sound like running water (trickling sound).
A sound like something hitting (tapping or
knocking sound).
A sound like boiling water (hollow bubbling
sound).
A sound like meat frying (searing sound).
A sound like something is catching
(repetitive tapping).
A groaning sound (low-pitch humming).
A whine like small electric motor,
rattling sound, or gurgling sound.
Cause
Frost or dew forms if water content in the air is cooled.
This is because high humidity is maintained to prevent
the vegetables to be dried.
After installation, the refrigerator will make a louder
sound than normal because it will run at a higher
power until it is sufficiently cooled inside.
This refrigerator is fitted with an inverter-compressor.
It will change to a high-speed mode and make a
louder noise when the doors are being opened and
closed a lot, if the surrounding temperature is high, or
after defrosting.
These are the sounds of the liquid for refrigerating
(refrigerant) flowing. They may be heard even when
the compressor is not running.
This is the sound of the motor controlling the
temperature inside the refrigerator that is heard
before or after the compressor operation or when
opening or closing the fresh room compartment door.
This is the sound of the automatic ice maker releasing
ice or drawing on the water supply. Even when the water
supply container is empty, the sound of automatic ice
maker pump is heard once every approximately 2 hours.
