YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER IS OPERATING NOISILY
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
CRACKING (ICE CRACKING) NOISE OCCURS:
During automatic defrosting. Also when the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion
of appliance material).
CLICKING NOISE OCCURS:
When the thermostat switches the compressor On/ Off.
MOTOR NOISE:
Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a
short time when it is first activated.
BUBBLING NOISE AND SPLASHING OCCURS:
Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
WATER FLOWING NOISE OCCURS:
Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
THERE IS WATER IN THE LOWER PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR
CHECK IF:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is normal. If you hear a
different sound, check whether:
› The appliance is level
› Anything is touching the rear of the appliance
› Objects in the appliance are vibrating.
