Helpful hints and tips Normal Operating Sounds · You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. · When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. · The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. This is correct. Hints for energy saving · Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. · If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
