Possible Causes

Refrigerant flowing through capillary tube and evaporator, Air moving through ducts and fan, Slight vibration of plastic ducts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No dangerous work is required; these noises are often normal.

Steps:

  • Identify source: Listen carefully to locate whether the noise comes from inside the cabinet or the rear.
  • Check fan area: Ensure no packaging or loose plastic parts are near the evaporator fan.
  • Secure ducts: If plastic air ducts vibrate, add small foam pads or felt strips (heat-resistant) at contact points to reduce noise.
  • Monitor: Mild whooshing or gurgling is usually normal for Grundig freezers and does not indicate a fault.
