Arctic Wind Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover my refrigerator?

The table lists every model number the label covers. Check the rating plate against it; if the number is not there, this is the wrong page.

Where do I find the model number?

On the rating plate: inside the compartment or behind the lower grille on a cold appliance, and inside the door opening or behind the filter cover on a laundry one. Compare it with the table above.

Is the gurgling after the compressor stops a fault?

No. That is refrigerant settling and it happens on every machine of this type. Ticks and soft pops as the plastic changes temperature are equally normal.

Is a noisy refrigerator dangerous?

A noise on its own is not. What matters is whether the cabinet is still holding temperature and whether anything smells hot; either of those turns a nuisance into a call.

Why is it so much louder at night?

Nothing has changed in the machine. The room is quieter, so a sound that sat under the background noise all day is suddenly at the top of it.
