Refrigerator makes a gurgling or hissing sound, especially after compressor stops.

Safety note: Gurgling and hissing are often normal sounds of refrigerant movement.

Steps:

• 1. Observe pattern: If the noise occurs briefly after compressor shutdown and cooling is normal, it is likely normal.
• 2. Check mounting: Ensure refrigerant lines are not touching each other or the cabinet in a way that amplifies noise. Gently reposition with care.
• 3. Monitor performance: If temperatures are stable and no frost anomalies are present, no repair is needed.

Warning: Do not attempt to alter refrigerant charge yourself; sealed system work requires a certified technician.
