Normal appliance sounds
Integrated Columns has been designed to have excellent energy ratings and
cooling performance. As a result, it can produce sounds somewhat different to your
oldappliance.
Normal operational sounds include:

Low frequency ticking sound. This is the valve that controls cooling to each
compartment. This noise will only last for a few seconds at a time.

Fan air flow sound. Integrated Columns has fans which change speed depending on
demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate
thecoldair in the appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.

Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function
isoperating.

Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard
asaboiling or gurgling noise.

An audible hissing sound after closing the freezer door. This is due to the pressure
difference between the warm air that has entered the cabinet and suddenly cooled,
andtheoutside airpressure.

Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.

Ice maker sounds:
– Motor operation (low humming).
– Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
– Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
– Ice being loosened from the ice moulding tray (cracking).
– Ice dropping into bin (clunking).

Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
– Floor uneven or weak.
– Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
