youtu.be/aH3s6xb-DEMDoes mine sound normal? I've had it for over a week now. It's been quiet until tonight when I opened up the door to get a water bottle out, it started to be louder (compressor?)and I heard this gurgling sound. Normal?

Couldn't really hear the compressor too well but the gurgling sounds normal to me. That's the refrigerant boiling in the evaporator (freezer). When the refrigerant absorbs heat from the cabinet it boils and becomes a vapor. Much like a pot of boiling water. It then goes to the condenser to be cooled back to a liquid and the process starts all over again. Hope that helps!

What Jake said I agree with it sounds like a very healthy evaporator to me . I have the same model ck-b16 it’s run times , have been around 2 minutes on and from 12 to 15 minutes off. If I turn it to a lower setting , it starts out a little noisy but after it runs a little time longer than usual , it gets very quiet.
when you defrost it see how it behaves when you start it up . The run times are so short I don’t think they really get up too there full potential under normal circumstances.
