A gurgling noise can be heard when the refrigerant circulates
through the pipes.
Clicking sounds occur whenever the thermostat switches the
compressor on or off.
A cracking sound can be heard when materials expand inside
the appliance.

raising or lowering the adjustable feet underneath the refrigera-
tion appliance.

little.
