Possible Causes
- Defrost cycle is adjusting automatically as intended
- Door has recently been opened so the cooling system is working harder
- Hot food has recently been put in the refrigerator so the cooling system is working harder
- Refrigerator is very full so the cooling system is working harder
How to Fix
The refrigerator cooling system is an essential function and is not a fault or malfunction. It will be more noticeable when the temperature inside the refrigerator increases because the cooling fan speeds up to bring the temperature back to normal. Follow these steps to reduce strain on the cooling system:
- Avoid opening the refrigerator door too frequently or for too long.
- Leave hot food to cool before putting it in the refrigerator.
- Space items evenly in the refrigerator so cold air can circulate more efficiently.
- Clean and inspect the door seals regularly to maintain a good seal.
Helpful Tips
- Don't overfill the refrigerator as this reduces air flow.
- Keep the door seal clean and free of debris, and regularly check it for damage.
- If the door isn't sealing properly or the noise level increases after following these steps, book a service repair.
