Why is My Refrigerator So Noisy?

Is your fridge making way too much noise? What is causing these sounds and how can you stop them? Hello Chris, what's up? Nothing much, enjoying a beer and preparing to have a hot shower because I stink like I slept between 2 overweight horses. That sounds nastier than eating a live squid. It does and it is. Now what can I help you with? I actually have a problem with my refrigerator. It's making some strange and loud noises and I don't know why. Oh, I see. Well to be honest, there can be many things that are causing those noises. Really? Yes and I recommend that you first of all check the compressor. Before calling a professional repairman though, I suggest you'll vacuum all the dirt, cobwebs so it runs as efficient as possible. I'll have to find a place in my home where I can do that and I think it will be a bit difficult. Check and see if the hardware and compressor are firmly attached (loose bolt set and\or nut). Next, you may also want to check if the refrigerator is level. I can tell you from now that my refrigerator is level, but I'll have to check for loose bolts or nuts. Anything else? You should also check the defrost timer, because it is responsible in many cases for making noises. When it advances, it will generally make a click, but the motor running the defrost time may also make noises if it's old. This sounds like I have to spend a lot of money to fix my refrigerator. Not really, but pay attention and check to see if the timer motor makes noise. If it does, then you'll need to replace it completely. But how will I know it's the timer motor? Because it makes popping, crackling and snapping sounds. Oh, I see. And that's all I know about diagnosing refrigerators. This is actually more than I had hoped you'd tell me, so thank you very much! It's my pleasure. Be careful and do let me know if you manage to fix this problem. I'll text you in the morning. Take care!
