back page, for contact details).

OPERATING SOUNDS OF A FRIDGE 
These are the normal types of sound that
your fridge will make:

The fridge 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.

The temperature control can make a
clicking noise when it turns the motor on
and off.

Expansion and contraction of parts 
inside the fridge can produce a cracking
noise as they rapidly change
temperature.
