Information: Gurgling and gentle hissing sounds are typically normal for Whirlpool wine coolers as refrigerant flows and pressures equalize.

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.
