Noise Related Problems

Cooltng in refrigerating-freezing appItances is made possible by cooling the system using a

compresso_"and is responsible for producing ceda]n no_selevels, This ts a lnormal,eond!tlo,n_.

How noisy the appliance Is depends on where it isprosed,how It is used and how old the appliance [a.Also during operation, certain

noise levels are a naturat by-product of rafflg stunt (gas) clrcuMtlng throughoutthe
