Ivation Refrigerant Flow Noise (Normal or Excessive)

Unit makes a gurgling or hissing sound periodically.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Normal refrigerant movement, Slight overcharge or undercharge, Air in sealed system (compressor models)

Safety: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system yourself.

Steps:

Determine if normal: Mild gurgling or hissing when the compressor starts or stops is often normal for Ivation compressor wine coolers.
Monitor performance: If cooling is normal and there are no leaks or odors, no action is needed.
Seek service if severe: If noises are very loud, continuous, and cooling is poor, contact a licensed refrigeration technician to evaluate the sealed system.
