Why is my refrigerator so loud?

Refrigerators all make noise, but if your refrigerator suddenly becomes louder than usual, you may be wondering what to do. Fixify Appliance Repair is happy to take a look at your refrigerator and offer possible solutions. Follow these steps to determine why your refrigerator is making too much noise.


Start by determining where the noise is coming from

The source of the noise will be the most important factor. The drain pain is most likely to be the cause of the noise if it makes a loud rattling sound and is coming from the bottom. This one is easiest to fix. Just secure the pan where it belongs.


The sound coming from your fridge’s back could be caused by a problem with the compressor, defrost timer or condenser fan. Although it is common for fridge compressors to become loud, it is possible to replace them if they are not in good condition. The defrost timer will need to be replaced if it is making the noise. If it is the condenser fan, you might be able just to clean it and get it running again.

How to check your fridge’s fan in the evaporator

You may need to replace parts if the fan blades stop moving or if there is wear on wires or connectors.
