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.

The temperature control can make a clicking noise when it turns the motor on and off.

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