"Whizz"
sounds
Explain
general
principles
of
sounds.
?
All
refrigerator
when
functioning
properly
have
normal
operating
sound.
The
compressor
and
fan
produce
sounds.
There
is
a
fan
in
the
freezer
compartment
which blows
cool
air
to
freezer
and
refrigerator
compartments.
"Whizz"
sounds
are
heard
when
the
air
passes
through
the
narrow
holes
into
the
freezer
and
refrigerator
compartments.
Cooling
Fan
sound
in
the
compressor
compartment.
?
There
is
a
fan
on
the
back
of
the
refrigerator,
which
cools
the
compressor
compartment.
If
there
is
a
small
space
between
the
refrigerator
and
the
wall,
the
air
circulation
sounds
may
be
noticeable.
Noise
of
Compressor.
?
This
operating
sound
happens
when
the
compressor
compresses
the
refrigerant.
The
compressor
rotates
at
3600RPM.
The
sound
of
compressor
operation
becomes
louder
as
the
refrigerator
capacity
increases.
"Click"
sounds
Explain
the
principles
of
temperature
change.
?
The
sounds
happens
when
pipes
and
internal
evaporator
in
the
refrigerator
compartment
expand
and
contract
as
the
temperature
changes
during
the
refrigerator
operation.
This
sound
also
happens
during
defrosting,
twice
a
day,
when
the
ice
on
the
evaporator
melts.
"Clunk"
sound
Explain
that
it
comes
from
the
compressor
when
the
refrigerator
starts.
?
When
the
refrigerator
operates,
the
piston
and
motor
in
the
compressor
rotate
at
3600RPM.
This
sound
is
caused
by
the
vibration
of
motor
and
piston
when
they
start
and
finish
their
operation.
This
phenomena
can
be
compared
with
that
of
cars.
When
the
car
engine
ignites
and
starts
to
rotate,
the
loud
sound
becomes
gradually
quiet.
When
the
engine
stops,
it
stops
with
vibration.
Vibration
sound
Check
the
sound
whether
it
comes
from
the
pipes
vibration
and
friction.
?
Insert
rubber
or
leave
a
space
between
pipes
to
avoid
the
noise.
?
Fix
the
fan
blade
if
the
noise
is
due
to
the
collision
of
fan
and
shroud.
?
Fix
the
drip
tray
if
it
is
loosened.
Sound
depends
on
the
installation
location.
?
Sound
becomes
louder
if
the
refrigerator
is
installed
on a
wooden
floor
or
near
a
wooden
wall.
Move
it
to
the
another
location.
?
If
the
refrigerator
is
not
leveled
properly,
a
small
vibration
can
make
a
loud
sound.
Please
adjust
the
level
of
the
refrigerator.
