Candy Refrigerant Flow Anomaly

Unit makes a hissing or gurgling sound continuously, with poor ice production.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Low refrigerant charge, Partial blockage in capillary tube, Internal compressor issue, Normal refrigerant noise amplified by cabinet

Safety first: Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.

Differentiate normal vs abnormal: Some hissing and gurgling is normal. If accompanied by poor ice production or frost only on part of the evaporator, a problem is likely.
Clean and ventilate: Ensure condenser is clean and airflow is good to rule out simple causes.
Call technician: If performance is poor and noises are unusual or new, a refrigeration technician should check pressures and system integrity.
