What to do if my Smeg UKVI144B is making noise?
- K
  Karen PadillaJul 30, 2025
  During the normal operation of your Smeg Freezer, you may hear the noise of liquid when the compressor is running, or the refrigerant flow when it is not. Also, after starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder. These are normal conditions and do not affect the appliance's lifespan. However, if you hear unusual and stronger noise, ensure the appliance is placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and that it does not touch the wall or adjacent kitchen units.

  The red light on your Smeg Freezer may be on due to several reasons: the door was opened frequently or left open too long, the door is not properly closed (possibly due to sagging, or a polluted or damaged gasket), a prolonged power supply interruption, or overloading the appliance with fresh foods.

  If the cooling system in your Smeg Freezer is running continuously, it may be due to inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. Try setting the thermostat knob from the continuous operation position to the automatic operation position. Also, ensure adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the condenser.
