CONCERN POTENTIAL CAUSE COMMON SOLUTION

SOUND AND NOISE

Louder sound levels

whenever freezer is on.

• Modern freezers have

increased storage

capacity and more

stable temperatures.

They require a high

eciency compressor.

• This is normal. When the surrounding noise

level is low, you might hear the compressor

running while it cools the interior.

Longer sound levels

when compressor

comes on.

• Freezer operates at

higher pressures dur-

ing the start of the

ON cycle.

• This is normal. Sound will level o or disap-

pear as freezer continues to run.

Popping or cracking

sound when compres-

sor comes on.

• Metal parts un-

dergo expansion and

contraction, as in hot

water pipes.

• This is normal. Sound will level o or disap-

pear as freezer continues to run.

Bubbling or

gurgling sound, like

water boiling.

• Refrigerant (used to cool

freezer) is circulating

throughout the system.

• This is normal.

Vibrating or

rattling noise.
