Normal noises

 

What causes them?

 

 

 

 

Brrrrr...

 

Humming noise made by the motor (compressor). This noise

 

 

may get louder for brief periods, whenever the motor kicks in.

 

 

 

Blubb, blubb....

 

A gurgling noise can be heard when coolant is circulating

 

 

through the pipes.

 

 

 

Click....

 

Clicking sounds occur whenever the thermostat switches the

 

 

motor on or off.

 

 

 

Sssrrrrr....

 

In multi-zone and frost-free appliances, the movement of air

 

 

circulating through the appliance can sometimes just barely be

 

 

heard.

 

 

 

Please bear in mind that a certain amount of noise is unavoidable (from the compressor, and the coolant circulating through the system).
