Information about appliance noise
Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also includes a compressor
(and a fan with some appliances), which generates some noise. The level of noise depends on
installation, proper use, and age of the appliance.
•
After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation, or the sound of flowing
liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect the useful
life of the appliance. In time, appliance operation and this noise will become quieter.
•
Sometimes, unusual or loud noises may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly the
result of improper installation:
-
The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
-
The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
-
Make sure the interior equipment sits firmly in its place and that the noise is not caused by
rattling cans, bottles or other containers placed next to each other.
•
Due to the higher workload on the cooling system when the door is opened more frequently or
for a longer time, when a large amount of fresh food is introduced or when intensive freezing or
cooling functions are activated, the appliance can temporarily generate more noise.
