  If your Hisense Refrigerator isn't working, check if the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet. Also, inspect the fuse or circuit of your power supply and replace it if needed. If the ambient temperature is too low, try adjusting the chamber setting. Note that it's normal for the freezer not to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or shortly after.

  Some noises from your Hisense Refrigerator are normal, such as compressor running noises, air movement noise from the fan motor, gurgling sounds similar to water boiling, and popping noises during automatic defrosting.
