OPERATING SOUNDS OF A FRIDGE FREEZER

These are the normal types of sound that your fridge freezer will make:

●

The fridge freezer motor (compressor) makes a buzzing or humming sound when it is
running. This can be louder when it is first switched on. This sound will reduce over the first
few months.

●

Gases flowing through the pipes can produce gurgling, bubbling, roaring or humming noises.

●

Expansion and contraction of parts inside the fridge freezer can produce a cracking noise as
they rapidly change temperature.

●

The circulating fan can make a whirring or buzzing sound as it blows cold air around the
compartments.

●

A valve at the top of the fridge, that allows cold air into the compartment can make a whirring
sound as it opens or closes.
