Operating Noises - Gaggenau RB 282 Gebrauchsanleitung

Operating noises

Noises which are totally normal
The refrigerator is cooled by a compres-
sor (cooling aggregate). The compressor
pumps coolant through the cooling
system, and this produces noise. Even
when the compressor cuts out, noises
caused by temperature and pressure
variations are unavoidable.
This cooler is fitted with a quiet compres-
sor and low-noise cooling circuit in accor-
dance with the latest state of technology.
However, certain noises are unavoidable
and their intensity depends on the size of
the cooler.
Operating noises are most audible imme-
diately after the compressor cuts in. They
become quieter as the operating period
continues.
Description Cause
Droning Cooling aggregate
Humming Fan
Gurgling Cooling circuit
Babbling
Murmuring
Hissing Cooling circuit
Clicking Thermostat
Rattling Shelves, baskets,
fitted holders, refri-
gerator contents etc.
Cracking Cooler housing
Noises which are not normal
Most unusual noises are caused by impro-
per installation. The cooler must be instal-
led or built-in so that it is level and stable.
Under no circumstances should pipes be
in contact with a wall, other furniture or
one another.
Where coolers are built in to open-plan
kitchens or partition walls, normal opera-
ting noises will be more audible. However,
this is due to the surrounding architecture
and not to any fault with the cooler.
Comment
Normal operating noise of the cooling aggregate.
The level is dependent on the size of cooler
Normal operating noise of the fan
Normal operating noise as coolant flows through
the circuit
Normal operating noise as coolant is injected into
the condenser
Normal switching sound of the electromechanical
temperature controller
Position the interior parts so that they don't touch one
another, or so that they are fitted securely.
Normal as materials expand and contract due
to temperature variations (e.g. plastics, insulation)
