Hints and Tips

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer:

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.

Do not store food uncovered.

At the core of Electrolux's product line is the commitment to energy efficiency. Many models are Energy Star certified, which guarantees reduced environmental impact and lower energy bills. Features like improved insulation and efficient compressors contribute to the overall energy savings, allowing users to enjoy a high-performing appliance without compromising on eco-friendliness.

This flexibility allows users to maximize space and keep their groceries organized. The SpaceWise Slide-Out Basket in freezer models provides easy access to frozen items, making meal preparation more convenient.

Another standout feature is the TasteLock Plus Crisper, designed to maintain optimal humidity levels. This innovative crisper drawer extends the life of fruits and vegetables by keeping them fresher for an extended time, reducing food waste in the long run. Many models also include a FreshZone drawer that maintains lower temperatures, perfect for storing meat and dairy products.

Smart technology integration is also a significant hallmark of Electrolux refrigerators. With the connected Home app, users can remotely monitor and control their refrigerator settings. This integration allows for notifications regarding temperature changes or when the door is left ajar, ensuring peace of mind.

Electrolux prioritizes design, offering a selection of finishes that cater to various kitchen aesthetics. Whether in stainless steel, matte black, or custom panel options, these refrigerators not only serve functionality but also add a touch of elegance to any kitchen space.
