How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety note: These sounds are usually normal and not a safety concern.

Steps:

  • 1. Identify pattern: Occasional clicks or pops, especially after compressor cycles or during defrost, are typically normal.
  • 2. Check for loose items: Ensure shelves and drawers are properly seated and not causing additional noise.
  • 3. Monitor performance: If cooling is normal and no error codes are present, no repair is required.

Note: Refer to the IceKing user manual; many list these sounds as part of normal operation.
