The freezer unit may emit heat during operation, especially in summer, which
is caused by the radiation of heat from the condenser, and this is a normal
phenomenon.

Refrigerants circulating in the cooling lines can produce sounds and noises -
this is normal and dos not impact the cooling function of the appliance.
Buzzing can be generated by the running compressor, especially when
