  Caitlin LynchAug 13, 2025
  If your Hanseatic Refrigerator is making noise, it could be due to several reasons. Some noises, like humming (refrigeration unit running), flowing (refrigerant flowing through the pipes), and clicking (compressor switching on or off), are normal operational sounds. However, disturbing noises might indicate that the appliance isn't stable, that there are objects inside the appliance or foreign matter at the back of the appliance. Check these issues and remove them.
