Freezer making gurgling or hissing noises periodically.

Safety: No repair is usually required; these sounds are often normal.

What to do:

• 1. Identify pattern: Gurgling or hissing shortly after the compressor starts or stops is typically normal refrigerant flow.
• 2. Check for leaks: If you smell a strong chemical odor or see oily residue on tubing, unplug the freezer and contact a technician.
• 3. Ensure level installation: Make sure the freezer is level to minimize unusual noises.

Note: Consult the Amica user manual; many list these sounds as normal operating noises.
