Bubbling and gurgling sound: This noise is emitted as the coolant fluid flows trough
the pipes within the cooling system. This is normal.
Water flowing sound: This is the normal sound of water flowing into the drain trough
the defrosting process.
If the appliance is operating noising ( compressor noise): This is normal. This noise
indicates that the compressor is operating normally. As the compressor is being
energized, it might run a bit more noisily for a short pride of time.
