Here’s a way how you can fix the refrigerator that makes a loud noise.
- Listen to the Source – Find out where the noise is coming from. Is the noise coming from the back, bottom, or inside the refrigerator? If the noise is rattling from the bottom, the drain pan is likely to lose. The loud noise that comes from the back of the unit can indicate an issue with the defrost timer, condenser fan or the compressor. If the noise comes from inside the appliance, the failing art is probably the evaporator fan which circulates the air through the freezer and fridge.
- Secure The Drain Pan – If a loose drain pan is causing the unit to make loud noise from the bottom, this is an easy fix. Make sure to secure the pan back in place with its existing hardware to restore the fridge quietly.
- Listen and Look For Faulty Defrost Timer – If the noise you hear involves a ticking or scraping noise, the defrost timer may be faulty. Check for the frost build-up in the refrigerator and the freezer compartments which can be an indication of a failing timer. If you happen to hear another noise, it is another sign that the defrost timer should be replaced. Let a professional have it checked to diagnose the problem.
- Clean and Inspect the Condenser Fan – Not all of the refrigerators have a condenser fan. If you have one which is located behind the access panel on the back of the fridge. With the fridge unplugged, check the condenser fan including the rubber grommets for any damages. Use a soft brush to clean the dirt and debris that can block the condenser motor fan. If this won’t solve the problem, try other ways such as cleaning the fan.
- Check The Evaporator Fan – To check if the evaporator fan causes the loud refrigerator racket, simply push the light switch in the freezer. If the fan is the reason, the noise will get louder. Inspect the fan to check the extent of the damage.
