BEER COOLER SOUNDS
After your new beer cooler has run for a while, you may notice some sounds being generated
by the unit. These are normal. Any hard surfaces surrounding the unit, such as the floor or
cabinetry, can make the sounds seem louder. The following list explains some of the sounds
you may hear and their causes.
• Your beer cooler uses a high-efficiency compressor and fans to keep beer at the desired
temperature while minimizing energy usage. The fan and compressor may therefore run
for longer periods than your old refrigerator. You may also notice a pulsating or high-
pitched sound coming from the compressor or fans, as they adjust to optimize
performance.
• As refrigerant flows inside the cabinet, you may hear some rattling noises. This may also
be caused by items stored inside the cabinet.
• After each cooling cycle, you might hear a gurgling sound caused by the refrigerant flowing
in your beer cooler.
• When the cooler is defrosting, you might hear water running into the drain pan.
• Each time the cooler starts or stops running, you may hear some clicking sounds.
• Outdoor beer dispensers contain a rear fan which runs only when the compressor is on, and
some models have an internal air circulation fan which runs continuously. A quiet fan hum
(similar to that of a computer fan) is normal.
