Wine cooler produces a gurgling or hissing sound periodically.

Safety note: These sounds are usually normal for Hoover wine coolers and do not indicate a fault.

What to do:

• Observe pattern: Gurgling or hissing that occurs when the compressor starts or stops is typically normal refrigerant flow.
• Check for leaks: If you also notice an oily residue or a strong chemical smell, unplug the unit and contact a refrigeration technician, as this may indicate a refrigerant leak.
• Ensure stable installation: Make sure the cooler is level and not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify normal sounds.
