Samsung Wine Cooler noises

Your Wine Cooler is basically a small refrigerator, so it's normal for it make sounds like a fridge. You may hear some buzzing, hissing, snapping, or similar sounds. Use this guide to figure out what all of the different noises mean.

Buzzing

This noise is the sound of the compressor, and it's normal to hear it operating. It sounds just like a quiet engine or motor. It will start up, run at low or high speed, make some clicking as it operates, and may sputter a bit as the fan slows to a stop.

If the buzzing or humming is very loud, visit our Support Center to request service.

Hissing, bubbling, or gurgling

Refrigerant moving through the Cooler's system changes from liquid to gas and back again. This makes a gurgling or bubbling sound.

Water dripping onto the defrost heater makes a hissing or sizzling sound.

If the hissing sound is very loud, visit our Support Center to request service.

Snapping, crackling, and popping

The plastic parts of the Wine Cooler contract and expand as its temperature rises and falls, causing cracking noises. This is a normal sound for the Cooler to make.

However, if the cracking, popping, or snapping is very loud, visit our Support Center to request service.

Blowing and whistling

This sound comes from the Cooler's circulation fans. It's rare, but normal. Slightly repositioning the Cooler (leave 2 inches of clearance on the top, sides, and back) can sometimes reduce this noise.

If the whistling or blowing is very loud, visit our Support Center to request service.
