Normal refrigerant expansion sounds, Obstructed air intake or exhaust grilles, Fan blades contacting shroud, Loose fan mounting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before touching the fan or rear components.

  • Check ventilation: Ensure that intake and exhaust grilles are not blocked by walls, cabinets, or dust.
  • Inspect fan: Remove the rear panel and verify the condenser fan blades are not rubbing against the shroud. Adjust or tighten the fan as needed.
  • Accept normal sounds: Mild gurgling or whooshing is often normal refrigerant flow. Only act if the noise is unusually loud or new.
