Normal refrigerator sounds
Active 5mart _ refrigerators, with their excellent energy ratings and cooling performance, can
produce sounds somewhat different to your old refrigerator,
Normal operational sounds include:
Fan air flow sound, Active 5mort _ refrigerators have fans which change speed depending on
demand, During coding periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate the cold
air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments producing some air flow sound, This is quite
normal
Cracking or popping whkh may sound like ice coming offthe evaporator, 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 freezer door, This is due to the pressure difference
between the warm air that has entered the cabinet and suddenly cooled, and the outside air
pressure
Other strange sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
- Cabinet not [evd
- Floor uneven or weak
- Bottles or iars rattling on shelves
