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.
