The refrigerator makes a gurgling or hissing sound periodically.

Safety: No repair is usually required.

Information:

• Gurgling, hissing, and gentle dripping sounds are typically normal as refrigerant flows and defrost water evaporates.
• Ensure the appliance is level and not touching walls or cabinets that could amplify the noise.
• If the noises are extremely loud or accompanied by poor cooling, have a technician inspect the sealed system.
