Steps:
- Verify performance: If the unit is cooling properly and there are no error codes, these sounds are likely normal.
- Check installation: Ensure the unit is not touching cabinets or walls that can amplify noise.
- Monitor: If noises become extremely loud or are accompanied by loss of cooling, contact a technician for further evaluation.
