If your fridge is operating too loudly;
To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from
your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is
reached, noises will be decreased automatically. If the noises persist;
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes
if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
Normal Noises;
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates
normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes
of the system.
Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during
defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during
normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when
the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more
frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?
If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during
the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns or after
unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet.
Your fridge will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean
your fridge according to Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
