Normal refrigerator sounds
ActiveSmart™ refrigerators are designed to have excellent energy ratings and
cooling performance. As a result, you may hear sounds somewhat different to your
old refrigerator.
Normal operational sounds include:
Fan air flow sound. ActiveSmart™ refrigerators have fans which change speed
depending on demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings,
fans circulate the cold air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments producing
some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function
is operating.
Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard
as a boiling or gurgling noise.
An audible hissing sound after closing the freezer door. This is due to the pressure
difference between the warm air that has entered the cabinet and suddenly cooled,
and the outside airpressure.
Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
Gasket noises. Normally occur over time due to a build up of dirt and/or grime. See
‘Cleaning care’ section.
Ice maker and water dispenser sounds:
– Motor operation (low humming).
– Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
– Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
– Loosened from the ice molding tray (cracking).
– ce dropping into bin (clunking).
Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
– Cabinet not level

– Bottles or jars rattling on shelves
