Refrigeration Noisy

Q - My Smeg Fridge-freezer is noisy - whats causing the noise?



A - The appliance will produce a low frequency hum/vibration when cooling" is correct. These noises come from both the compressor and the system itself when the appliance is running.

You will still get system noise for a short time after the compressor stops, this will be the system gas running through the hermetic system, this will then settle until the compressor starts again on demand from the thermostat. The system can also emit "popping", "gurgling" & "Clicking" noises, these are all deemed as part of the normal noise emissions during the system and the defrost cycle.
