Normal Refrigerator Sounds

 

ActiveSmart™ refrigerators, with their excellent energy ratings and cooling performance, can produce sounds somewhat different to your old refrigerator.

 

Normal Operational Sounds Include:

 

ActiveSmart™ 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. ActiveSmart™ refrigerators have fans which change speed depending on demand. During cooling 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 which may occur 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 sounds may be heard for the following reasons
  • Cabinet not level.
  • Floor uneven or weak.
  • Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
