When there is refrigerator noise. It is normal for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds.

--- Sound becomes quieter after a while.

• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor

--- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost operation.

• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)

--- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from

time to time).

• Cracking or crunching sound, Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by

expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.
