Proper and good maintenance is the main factor to ensure that your appliance is running smoothly. The same is the case with any refrigerator. Refrigerators come with instructional manuals that help you to take proper care of it. It is important to identify the situation that demands a refrigerator repair. One of the biggest problems with refrigerators is when they start making loud noises. This problem is big but also very common. Let us first understand the noise from refrigerators.


Most common refrigerator noises 1. Vibration 2. Knocking 3. Hissing 4. Water Running Noise 5. Dripping 6. Banging 7. Popping 8. Sizzling 9. Gurgling 10. Whirring Sounds 11. Rattling Sounds

Vibrations One of the most common reasons for refrigerator vibrations is because it is pushing against something from behind while the compressor runs. This noise can reduce or go away if you keep the refrigerator a little away from any wall. If the refrigerator is not kept on an even surface, then also the vibrations may occur.

Knocking There may be plenty of reasons for the knocking sound in the refrigerator. Knocking may occur due to shifting of ice in the freezer, clogged condenser or compressor. There is a vent at the back of your refrigerator that covers the condenser fan. You can remove and wash off any dust or link from it and clean the fan as well. Once done, put the vent back on its place. Do not turn on the refrigerator till the vent is put back at its place. Clean the front vent as well. Make sure you do not touch anything else apart from the vent and fan. Do not touch the compressor. Even after the cleaning also the refrigerator is making noise, you should probably contact a refrigerator repair company.

Hissing The flow of oil or refrigerant in the compressor often causes the hissing sound. This is quite common and not a very big problem.


Water running noise When the refrigerator is in its defrost phase, this type of sound is quite common. You can simply ignore any such noise.

Dripping sound This sound is caused by the flow of refrigerant and oil in the compressor. Not a matter to worry about.

Banging sound Pulsating water lines against the refrigerator cause this sound. Not a matter to worry about.

Popping sound The inside of the refrigerator contracts and expands as the temperature changes. That is why popping sound comes. Not a matter of worry.

Sizzling sound This sound is normal in the defrost phase. It occurs when water drips down the heater for defrosting.

Gurgling sound It is a common sound when the ice melts in the defrost cycle and moves through the refrigerator system.

Whirring Sounds The compressor or the fan cause such type of noise. When either of these 2 is adjusting with the inside temperatures, this noise comes.

Rattling When there are items kept on the top of the refrigerator, they vibrate when the compressor or fan runs. This also causes a rattling sound.
