OPERATING SOUNDS OF A FREEZER

These are the normal types of sound that your freezer will make.

The motor (compressor) makes a buzzing or humming sound when it is running. This can be louder when it first switches on. This sound will reduce over the first few months.

Gases flowing through the pipes can produce gurgling, bubbling, roaring or humming noises.

Expansion and contraction of parts inside the freezer can produce a cracking noise as they rapidly change temperature.

The circulating fan in the freezer can make a whirring or buzzing sound as it blows cold air around the compartment.
