Normal operating sounds
Chest freezers can produce sounds somewhat different to other refrigerator and freezer appliances.
Normal operating sounds include:
- Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations. These are the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
- A clicking sound from the thermostat cycling on and off.
- Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
- Cabinet not level.
- Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
