Refrigerator makes a gurgling or hissing sound periodically.

Safety First: No repair is usually required for these normal operating sounds.

Steps:

• Identify sound source: Gurgling and hissing from inside the cabinet or back of the unit are typically normal as refrigerant flows and defrost water evaporates.
• Monitor performance: If cooling is normal and no error codes are present, these sounds are considered normal for Midea refrigerators.
• Check for leaks: If you suspect a refrigerant leak (oily residue, loss of cooling), contact a professional technician.
