12V Refrigerator Noise

We just spent our first night in our 2022 Flying Cloud 25RBT. Very pleasant, except for a nearly-constant drip, trickle, squirt sound from the all-electric fridge. It sounded like water was running most of the time. When we switched it to Night Mode, the sound mostly went away.

Is this water sound typical and just something we need to get used to or is it a sign of a problem? The fridge cooled very rapidly when we first started it and seems to be functioning fine as far as keeping food and ice cold.

Thanks!

Josh

The gurgling is a feature in the compressor refrigerators. You give up silent running for fast cool down, frozen ice cream and the ability to run off level.

Turn on the AC and you'll never hear the frig.

I have a 2023 25 ft FB with the same issue. It sounds like running water while you're trying to sleep. Not good....

Simply set the refrigerator to night mode. It almost eliminates the sound and it saves on power consumption too.
