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.
