Cause
A humming noise is made by the motor (compressor). This noise
can get louder for brief periods when the motor switches on.
A gurgling noise can be heard when the coolant circulates
through the pipes.
Clicking sounds occur whenever the thermostat switches the
motor on or off.
A cracking sound can be heard when materials expand inside
the appliance.
Cause and solution
The appliance is uneven. Realign the appliance using a level by
raising or lowering the adjustable feet underneath the
refrigeration appliance.
The appliance is touching another machine or piece of
cabinetry. Move it away.
Drawers, baskets, or shelves are jiggling or are stuck. Check all
removable parts and reinsert them correctly if required.
Bottles or containers are touching each other. Separate them a
little.
