it’s making a loud gurgling or bubbling noise constantly, sounds like water is moving inside

— asked by Riley

Quick answer: Normal operation. That’s refrigerant moving through the coils and capillaries inside the sealed system.

Diagnosis

Normal operation. That’s refrigerant moving through the coils and capillaries inside the sealed system.

How to Fix It

No fix needed. The sound is more noticeable on larger pint models like the DH70W because they move more refrigerant. It will often change pitch as the cycle starts and stops.

If That Didn't Work

If the sound becomes a loud hiss or screech, that indicates a refrigerant leak. Unplug the unit immediately. Do not use it. A leak means the sealed system has failed.

Heads Up

Do not tilt or move the unit while it’s running. You can force liquid refrigerant into the compressor lines and cause real damage.
