GE
Normal Refrigerant Flow Noise (Potentially Exaggerated)
Wine cooler makes a gurgling or bubbling sound during operation.

Possible Causes
Normal refrigerant movement, unit not level causing refrigerant pooling, tubing contacting cabinet amplifying sound
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting tubing or leveling.
- Level the unit: Adjust leveling legs so the cabinet is stable and level, which can reduce refrigerant noise.
- Check tubing contact: At the rear, gently bend refrigerant lines away from the cabinet or each other if they are touching and transmitting noise. Do not kink or sharply bend lines.
- Isolate vibration: Ensure the unit is not directly touching cabinets or walls that can amplify sound.
Some gurgling is normal in GE wine coolers and does not indicate a fault if cooling performance is normal.
