Freezer makes gurgling, hissing, or popping sounds periodically.

Information: Many gurgling, hissing, and popping sounds from a Summit freezer are normal and related to refrigerant flow and defrost cycles.

What you can do:

• Verify normal operation: Ensure the freezer is maintaining proper temperature and there are no error codes or alarms.
• Check for excessive frost or leaks: If noises are accompanied by poor cooling, heavy frost, or oily residue, consult a technician.
• Improve installation: Ensure the freezer is level and not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify normal sounds.

Note: If the noises are extremely loud or change suddenly, have the unit inspected to rule out mechanical issues.
